Important information for software upgrades: Upgrading to this Charon-PAR from an older version requires a license update. Please contact your VAR or Stromasys representative to plan the update. Charon-PAR version 2.0 and higher is incompatible with licenses of earlier versions. Earlier product versions are incompatible with licenses for Charon-PAR 2.0 and higher. Software licenses may have to be newly created from a fingerprint file during an upgrade from versions before Charon-PAR 1.10. Charon-PAR/PA3 licenses for version 2.1 are not backward compatible for emulators running with version 2.0. |
