Product Configuration

Product Versioning

7min

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"

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.

Using Product Versions

The License API has a Versions 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 Installation File endpoint.
