If a red banner appears when you sign in to the Codeks application, warning you that the update license will expire, this means that the period in which you are entitled to new versions of the Codeks software is coming to an end.
An active update license gives you access to new versions of the Codeks software, including updates that may contain:
- adjustments related to regulatory and other requirements,
- security improvements and stability fixes,
- new and improved features.
Your currently installed version of Codeks will continue to run after this date. However, once the update license expires, you will no longer be able to update your system to versions released after the expiry date of your update license.
To continue receiving updates, please contact your software supplier or the partner who installed your Codeks system.
How to obtain a new update license?
To check your update license, your software supplier will need an Upgrade request PDF document. This document contains information about your installed Codeks software and licenses. Based on the submitted document, your software supplier can issue a new update license code or prepare an appropriate offer.
You can generate the Upgrade request PDF in two ways:
Use this method if you have administrator access to the Codeks application.
Procedure:
- Sign in to the Codeks application as an administrator.
- Open Administrator dashboard from the main menu.
- Click Print upgrade request.
- A PDF document will be generated. Save it to your computer.
- Send the PDF document to your software supplier by e-mail.
Use this method on the computer or server where Codeks is installed.
Procedure:
- Start Codeks Service Manager.
- Click Licenses to open the License Editor.
- Select the checkbox I agree to the use of data.
- Click Print upgrade request.
- A PDF document will be generated. Save it to your computer.
- Send the PDF document to your software supplier.
Send the Upgrade request PDF document to your software supplier
Send the saved Upgrade request PDF document to your software supplier. Based on the submitted document, your software supplier will issue a new update license code or prepare an appropriate offer.
After receiving the Upgrade request PDF document, your software supplier will contact you by email with a new update license code or an offer for obtaining one.
Useful information about your update license
You can check the date until which you are entitled to Codeks software updates in the Codeks application or in Codeks Service Manager.
Method 1: In the Codeks application, sign in as an administrator and open Administrator dashboard. The validity date of the update license is displayed in the license section.
Method 2: Start Codeks Service Manager on the computer or server where Codeks is installed and click Licenses. The validity date of the update license is displayed in the License Editor.
If your update license has already expired or is approaching its expiry date, please send the Upgrade request PDF document to your software supplier. Based on the license information, they will advise you on the next steps and prepare an appropriate offer for continued access to Codeks software updates.
You can find the version number of your currently installed Codeks software at the bottom of the Codeks application start screen.
You can install a Codeks software version if it was released while your update license was valid.
The date until which you are entitled to Codeks software updates is the same as the license expiry date. You can find it in the Codeks application Administrator dashboard.
The Codeks software version number includes the month and year of release.
Example:
If your update license is valid until 24/03/2026, you can install versions released up to and including March 2026, meaning versions marked 10.2603 or lower.
Examples of versions you can install:
V10.2603.x.x
V10.2601.x.x
V10.2512.x.x
V10.2507.x.x
and all older versions released within the validity period of your update license.
You cannot install versions marked 10.2604 or newer without a new update license, because they were released after the validity date of your update license.
If you are not sure which version is suitable for your system, please contact your software supplier. Together, you can check whether you need a new update license for further updates and confirm the appropriate next step.
