Availability of PDFlib 9 Licenses
In order to protect customer investments and to allow customers to extend existing PDFlib 9 installations without changing their software stack, PDFlib 9 licenses are still available after the release of PDFlib 10. The exact conditions of PDFlib 9 availability depend on whether or not the customer has an active support agreement as detailed in the following table:
| Customer already has... | PDFlib 9 is available until... |
| no PDFlib 9 licenses | January 2022 |
| PDFlib 9 licenses without support | December 2022 |
| PDFlib 9 licenses with active support | December 2023 (end of lifetime for PDFlib 9) |
PDFlib 9 licenses purchased after January 31, 2022 are not eligible for free updates to PDFlib 10 (even with active support). However, they can be updated at the reduced fee (60% of the target price) to the same version 10 product on the same platform (e.g. a PDFlib 9 license can be changed to a PDFlib 10 license at 60% of the list price of PDFlib 10).
Updates to the current maintenance release of PDFlib 9 (minor update) are available as long as new licenses for PDFlib 9 are available.
