Product Release Dates
Since PDFlib GmbH license keys enable only maintenance releases which have been released up to a specific calendar date, it is occasionally required to double-check the release date of a particular maintenance version of a product. The following table summarizes the release dates of relevant product versions.
The products listed below can only be used if you purchased the license after the release date or had an active support agreement at the time of release. You can check the exact purchase date or the end of your support term on your invoice.
