LicenseKeeper Beta version 0.94

After a very crazy week, LicenseKeeper Beta version 0.94 is ready for download and testing. If you’ve signed up for the private beta program, you can download this release from the same location as the past releases.

There are some significant new features this time around:

  • Library Export
  • Library Import
  • App Import now works with non-bundle software: Games, Microsoft Office, and RealBasic programs.

As always, if you have any suggestions, bug reports, or questions… please send them my way.

Warning!

If you haven’t run LicenseKeeper since before version 0.93, remember that 0.93 broke compatibility with earlier versions of the library and will crash upon launch. You need to delete your old library and preferences. Just drag each of the following to the trash. The “~” character is UNIX speak for your home Folder.

  1. Folder: ~/Library/Application Support/LicenseKeeper
  2. Folder: ~/Library/Caches/LicenseKeeper
  3. File: ~/Library/Preferences/com.outerlevel.LicenseKeeper.plist

Do not run the old version again, otherwise you’ll need to delete these folders and files again.
