Version 2030.920/925 - Report Runner Batch and Report Runner Viewer - New Licensing Engine!

If you're already on 2030, the biggest change, by far, on this release is the NEW LICENSING MANAGER (and licensing engine).

• The long encrypted keys are gone
• The license.key file is gone
• The activated.key file is gone
• If you keep an open connection with our licensing server, you no longer need to do anything when you renew your license
• You can activate, deactivate, and see ALL of your licensing and activated machines without contacting us

All you have to implement now is a single file named reportrunner.key file. You place that file in the same directory/folder where you used to place the license.key file. That's it. From there, you're in charge of all activations and deactivations.
