License Management on Windows
Watch the video.
Important:
Lianja product keys apply up to a specific major version, e.g. v4, v5, v6.
- If you have an active subscription and a new major version is released, your license will be updated to run on the new version and your product key will remain the same (contact Support if you are having any problems).
- If you purchased a one-off Lianja license or if your subscription has expired, your current product key will not be valid for a new major release.
OS Upgrades and Updates
- Before upgrading Windows or applying major updates, please Deactivate your license then Activate it again after the upgrade/update has completed.
