In version 2.x, I was generating licenses with the WinLicenseSDK.dll. Do I have to change it for version 3.x?

Version 3.0 has a new format for the "License Unique key" (License Hash). If you have migrated your old License hash (from version 2.x) to the new format using the "ConvertDatabase.exe" tool, then you can continue using your old license generator with the old WinLicenseSDK.dll

 

If you have created a new license hash in version 3.x, then you need to use the new WinLicenseSDK.dll that is shipped with WinLicense 3.x

 

Basically, the WinlicenseSDK.dll that is shipped with version 2.x, can create licenses for the old "License Hash" format. The new WinLicenseSDK.dll that is shipped with version 3.x, can create licenses for the new "License Hash" format.
