Environment

Retain 3.5.0 and earlier versions

Situation

After renewing my Retain license and downloading a new license file from https://licenses.gwava.com, I submit it in the Retain license page, they are all showing as invalid licenses.

Resolution

In 2016, GWAVA has upgraded its license format for all of its products, which requires an update to your Retain software in order to read them.

Retain 1.x

Not supported.  You must upgrade to Retain 2.

Retain 2.x

Open a support ticket by phone or email, and a support engineer will give you download instructions for a patch and help you get the patch applied.

Retain 3.0 - 3.5.0

Upgrade to Retain 3.5.1.
