Don Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Renewing your license will get you one year of software updates at your current level (advanced, in your case.) Thus you would be able to upgrade to LOR 3.x, or any other version that comes out one year after your renewal date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmraider Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 So what happens after one year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Your license never expires. Only your ability to upgrade to newer versions. This is the situation you find yourself in now. You can register versions of the software up to your license level, and the license doesn't expire. You just can't upgrade to newer versions of the software, as your license doesn't support them.

jmraider Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thank you for the information, I am starting on my designs for this year and have been considering to use Lor 3. I understand that my current sequences should convert to Lor 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thank you for the information, I am starting on my designs for this year and have been considering to use Lor 3. I understand that my current sequences should convert to Lor 3.Yes, they will convert to LOR3. One thing to remember, you can not use a S3 sequence with LOR 2.x. Once you save it in S3, consider it converted. I would recommend making a backup copy of your S2 sequences on the (remote) chance you want to go back to S2.

bob Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Yes, they will convert to LOR3. One thing to remember, you can not use a S3 sequence with LOR 2.x. Once you save it in S3, consider it converted. I would recommend making a backup copy of your S2 sequences on the (remote) chance you want to go back to S2. I agree with Don's recommendation - I think it's pretty much always wise to back up - but I just want to point out that when the Sequence Editor converts an old save file to a new one, it also saves a copy of the old file (without any of the changes you made to it with the new version of the Sequence Editor). Let's say your sequence is called MySequence.lms. Then when LOR converts it to the new layout, it will also make an entirely new file, called (something like) MySequence.lms.v8.bak. I'm making up the "8" in that - you may see a different number. If you rename that file to Something.lms (dropping the .v8.bak), and then open it, you'll see it's a copy of your old sequence as it was before you modified it in the new Sequence Editor. Again, though, I totally agree with Don's recommendation - backup, backup, backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
