1.16.5 and Beta key - is still needed?

Post by VAMET » Wed Dec 01, 2021 9:26 pm

Dear Friends

To Moderator, yep, I have seen topic with FAQ, but I would like to ask, if Beta key is still needed for using version 1.16.5?

When you click About in 1.16.5 there is an information: "This version expires: Sun Feb 27 2022 [88 day(s)]". So how to understand this information with relation to Beta keys, which are added month to month?

Thank you for your reply...

Sincerely

The current Beta key you are using will expire on that date, then you will have to set the new key that is available.

I don't think it's true, I have used Beta key to the end of November. Today I have installed 1.16.5 version and I have not used any new Beta key (there is no new for December and November one has been expired) and when I click on About there is:
License type: Freeware
Evaluation: Not started
This version expires: Sun Feb 27 2022 [88 day(s)]
I have no valid Beta key at the moment, so what is this Feb 27 2022 means? Is it a bug or this is not related with Beta key?

EDIT

I have added new Beta key:
The current beta key is

T-atm47dTZbMqXw1QucuIdgpDYCIq2HIsT5mQeOONtu_7oY9TJNJeiMEiuB07SC8YTiJ

and is valid until end of January 2022.
...and now when I click About there is:
License type: Time-limited
Evaluation: Tue Feb 01 2022 [61 day(s)]
This version expires: Sun Feb 27 2022 [88 day(s)]
...so what is the difference between: Evaluation: Tue Feb 01 2022 [61 day(s)] and This version expires: Sun Feb 27 2022 [88 day(s)]?

Sincerely
