Adding custom fields later on?

Let's say I generate a number of product keys for users, and then I add in some other custom fields. What happens to the existing product keys? Are they automatically updated with new fields when their program calls IsGenuineEx? If so, what values are they defaulted to (assuming they are required- I figure they are blank if not required)?

I just didn't find that detail in the documentation.

What happens to the existing product keys?

Currently existing product keys get empty license field values (even if the new license field is "required"). Of course you can go and edit the existing keys with new values.

In the very near future we're improving this behavior. That is, we'll let you set default value for existing keys at the time of the new license field creation.

Are they automatically updated with new fields when their program calls IsGenuineEx?

Yes, new license fields that have values are updated when IsGenuineEx() contacts our servers. See: Changing fields & getting the changed data in your app.

Sounds good. Thanks.
