As this is a pre-release we are not yet going to upgrade any of our 7.9 gateways until RC time. It appears the standard trial license model is in affect. Are there any plans to allow temp licenses or a second activation on an existing license for the beta period so we don’t have to deal with trial mode? ---

Yeah, we were just discussing this yesterday. Might just issue a time limited shared key. Stay tuned. ---

We have created a license key for all beta testers to use that will expire at the end of December: **_V5B-UMW_** There are a lot of grants on that license key so anyone can use it. Please let us know if you run into any issues and happy beta testing. ---

I have just extended the license until Feb 15. For those of you who already have activated Ignition, just simply refresh the license. I have added new grants to the license for new folks to activate as well. ---

I’ve just extended the license until April 1st. If you get a message about your trial expired, click the reload / refresh button, and it should give you another month and a half. ---
