qStudio – You must update this year
January 22nd, 2024 by admin
The java core feature qStudio relied on for license key authentication has been removed in java 17. If you are using a version of qStudio lower than 2.53 you MUST upgrade this year. Download qStudio now.
- Old license keys and old versions of qStudio cannot work on java 17+ as the core java library is removed.
- qStudio 2.53+ released 2023-08-14 will accept both old and new license keys and work on java 8/9/11/17 …. everything. – Download it now.
- All keys provided from 2024-01-01 have been using the new key format. These keys start with QSV3.
We really wish 11+ years ago we hadn’t chosen this particular library but what can you do 🙂
Existing enterprising customers may be issued an old key for exceptional circumstances. If absolutely required, get in touch.
The timeline has been:
May 2023 – Create qStudio version that accepts both old and new keys
June 2023 – Roll out that qStudio
August 2023 – Only issue new format keys to our free users
1st January 2024 – Only issue new format keys to new corporate users. Date chosen to simplify messaging.
February 2024 – Once we encounter no issue with the free users or new installs, contact previous purchasers.
