Product Versioning

the licensespring service can be configured to return product version information on activation, license checks, and other webhooks through the license api licensespring does not host binaries to product versions we simply provide a mechanism to handle product versions for a license add a version to a product to add a new version of your product, open the product detail page, and click the versions tab, and then click "add new version" adding new product version product version fields required fields environment version number release date optional fields requires version specify what is the minimum version required for someone to be able to update to the version being added for example, if you are adding a new version 3 0 0 and you set "requires version" to 2 0 0, then anyone with a version less than 2 0 0 will not be able to upgrade to 3 0 0 file hash md5 which you can use to help verify the integrity of the binaries being installed file size defined in bytes, is communicated so that you can display this information when offering a new version update link to file link to download the binaries of the new version link to release notes intended as a web page or text file to display release notes on the version link to eula intended to show a web page or text file with the license agreement for the app or unique to the app version channel could potentially refer to a specific distribution or release channel for your software product versions in software development, different versions of a product may be released to various channels or groups of users based on factors like stability, testing, or deployment strategy these channels typically serve different purposes and cater to different user needs editing file using product versions the license api has a get product versions docid\ mbq0ek4xlt jx8sldyhy9 webhook that allows you to retrieve all product versions for a given channel and environment you can compare the release date of a product version with another timestamp, such as a license expiry date or maintenance window to determine whether the version is allowed for this license similarly, you can check the latest product version against the version currently installed to conditionally prompt the user to download an update to their software using get installation file docid\ lxpe6kv olj7hll grl1q endpoint link license to max product version licensespring supports linking licenses to specific product versions, allowing fine grained control over license applicability this feature enables scenarios where a license should only be valid up to a designated version of a product product version on a license if a license is linked to a version, any license check or activation request must respect this version limit when a license is linked to a product version the client may send the app ver parameter to specify the version of the product they’re using if the app ver is newer than the version linked to the license, the api will return product version not supported error this can be verified only if app ver parameter is sent with license activation ( online and offline ) and check requests if a license is not linked to any product version, then no version validation is enforced version validation is possible only if versions follow semantic versioning format product version can also be applied to a license policy if a license is created via a license policy, and that policy has a product version assigned to it, the license inherits it license bundles are not supported with product version linking
