For Current Users
-----------------
SAMwrap v8.2 is compatible with SAMwrap v7.0. Therefore, if you
have a valid SAMwrap v7.0 license file, SAMwrap v8.2 will work
with that license file without any changes.

If you add any new features to your SAMwrap license file, you will
notice that the length of the license key generated by the SAMwrap
v8.2 license generator is 12 digits, rather than the previous
length of 20 digits. A 20-digit license key includes an embedded
license start date; the default 12-digit license key does not.

If you prefer to generate 20-digit license keys for backward
compatibility, from the command line, type:
               swcrypter <license-file> -verfmt 5

When you issue this command, the license generator will generate
20-digit license keys only for FEATURE lines whose license keys
were set to 0. No other FEATURE lines will be changed.

You can also generate 20-digit license keys on Windows. In the
Advanced settings section of the “SAMwrap Application Information”
dialog, check “Ver. 5 signature (20 digits with embedded start
date)” check box for every application whose license you want to
generate with a 20-digit license key. All other application
licenses will be generated with 12-digit license keys.

Therefore, a valid SAMwrap v8.2 license file can contain a mix of
12- and 20-digits license keys. However, older versions of SAMwrap
will not accept 12-digit license keys.
