We would like to inform you of an important change to the MXsecurity license model.
From January 31, 2024, we will switch to perpetual licenses instead of subscription licenses (NEW-1Y and NEW-dynamic month).
Users who are using MXsecurity v1.x.x
If you have already activated the NEW-1Y or NEW-dynamic monthly subscription licenses on MXsecurity v1.x.x, please ensure they remain valid before upgrading to MXsecurity v2.0.0. Upon successful upgrade, the system will automatically extend the license period to permanent.Users who have not yet activated the license on MXsecurity v1.x.x
If you purchased the NEW-1Y or NEW-dynamic monthly subscription licenses for MXsecurity v1.x.x but haven't activated them, you can activate them on the Moxa license portal after January 31, 2024. The system will automatically convert them into NEW-perpetual licenses upon activation on the Moxa license portal.Expired Licenses:
If your NEW-1Y or NEW-dynamic monthly subscription license has already expired, you have two options:- Buy and activate a NEW-1Y or NEW-dynamic monthly subscription license, install MXsecurity v1.x.x by January 31, 2024, and then upgrade to MXsecurity v2.0.0.
- Wait for the release of MXsecurity v2.0.0 on January 31, 2024, and then buy and activate a NEWperpetual license.
