Switching from Evaluation Versions to Full Versions

As licensed developer of the yFiles library, you get access information to download the full versions of the library for your respective platform. It does not include your license files, which you will receive in a separate step.

The download package is almost identical to the evaluation package that you know from your evaluation, but differs in two important aspects:

• The normal library only works with your development and deployment licenses. It will not work with an evaluation license.
• Unlike the evaluation version of the library, the normal library has no built-in expiration date and will not cease to work automatically.

Error Messages

If an evalaution version of the library is used with a full license or if an evaluation license is used with the full version of the library, yFiles shows a license error with one of the following error messages

• "A regular license cannot be used with an evaluation library."
• "An evaluation license cannot be used with a non-evaluation library."

Switching to the Full Version

As a licensed customer you should:

• have obtained your new license file and download information for the full library
• download the package for the full version of the library
• remove all files from the evaluation packages from your systems, most importantly the redistributables
• put the files from the full version where you previously had the evaluation files
• add your new license file to this setup - use the development version during development and the deployment version for the deployment of your applications, respectively.
