Use of old license keys

Hi there,

I'm evaluating the use of LimeLM for my product, which is currently protected only with a simple key-based system. Everything looks good, but I do have an important question:

I've looked through the following guide:

https://wyday.com/limelm/help/switch-to-limelm-turboactivate/

The upgrade guide above explains how to seamlessly switch to LimeLM, but the last step is the one I am strongly hoping to avoid: I would like existing customers to be able to keep using their old license keys.

I have ~8,000 users and it would be a major ongoing support headache to reassign all of them new license keys. New users can have license keys assigned using the LimeLM API, but it's very important to allow the old license keys to function. Is this possible?

Well, you can stop at step 3 (where you give them a new LimeLM key, but you haven't told them about it). That is, your scripts using our web API will handle the old key to new key transition.

We simply recommend notifying customers of their new key so that if in the future you don't want to maintain that "shim script", you can drop it (and just tell them to use the new key).

But, long story short, it's up to you how you want to roll it out. If you don't want to email your existing customers, you don't have to.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
