Can I use a newer release of AYS with an older license?

Reasons to upgrade your license version

There are good reasons to upgrade your AYS license version:

• Microsoft is constantly upgrading their Windows operating systems and older versions of AYS are not compatible with some of the technologies used in the newer operating systems. Newer licensed versions of AYS are updated to keep pace with these changes and upgrading your license ensures that you have maximum compatibility.
• New technologies continue to be developed or have come into popular use in mainstream society. A few basic examples are spell-check, SMS text messaging, bar codes and QR codes, and integrated credit/debit card processing. Many of these technologies are expensive to implement and require dozens of hours of research, development, and testing. Upgrading your AYS license version adds support for new technologies like these to your program.
• Every month we receive numerous feature requests from our customers asking for new features or improvements to existing modules. With every new major version we spend hundreds of hours to implement as may of these new features as possible. While some of these features are released to all users regardless of license version, most of these new features are available only by upgrading your license version.
