KB341852324: Legacy editors Plato and PowerLayout - Important License update when upgrading Plato to version 21.11 and PowerLayout to version 22.03

Important License Update for Plato 21.11 and PowerLayout 22.03

When upgrading your Plato editor to version 21.11, the release of November 2021, you will receive an 'ArtPro+ Layout 21' license instead of a Plato 21 license.

When upgrading your PowerLayout to version 22.03, the release of March 2022, you will receive an 'ArtPro+ Layout 22' license instead of a PowerLayout 22 license.

The new 'ArtPro+ Layout' license will allow you to start up Plato 18.1 or higher (including version 21.11), PowerLayout 22.03 or higher as well as the ArtPro+ Layout edition.

Important Note

Plato 18.0 or older and PowerLayout 21.11 or older will not be able to start up with an ArtPro+ Layout license. These older versions still require a Plato or PowerLayout license.

You will also not be able to start up any version of Plato or PowerLayout using an ArtPro+ Layout Named User Subscription license.

Additionally note that an 'ArtPro+ Advanced' edition license will also not allow you to start up Plato or PowerLayout.

Some additional information on the 21.11 introduced ArtPro+ Layout edition and its features can be found on the online documentation pages: https://docs.esko.com/docs/en-us/artproplus/21.11/userguide/home.html#en-us/common/app/concept/co_app_licensing.html
