ManagedExecution in Activation Server and Compatibility

The ManagedExecution feature is a recent improvement to the Activation Server, introduced in ElecKey version 2.0.8.20. It enables the Activation Server to manage and maintain the integrity of the execution limit for usage-based licensing. The feature adds the new InitExec property to the licensing system that is used to initialize the execution count to the Key. However, it is not backward compatible. To use this feature, you must update and deploy ElecKey version 2.0.8.20 or higher to your system, including the protected application, KeyCheck API, LicenseGen SDK, and Activation Server. The table below lists the files that must be updated.
