I am receiving a License key is expired or used for an older version error after I updated my Ultimate Studio by downloading the update using the blue Ultimate Studio for .NET link shown on my Downloads page right above my license key.  I attempted to update to fix issues with sFTP I was experiencing.  My purchase was on 11/3/2016.

I still set my license key ComponentPro.Licensing.Common.LicenseManager.SetLicenseKey(...) without any exception.  I have double checked that the license key I'm applying is the one currently shown on my Account page.  But now when this line runs:  "manager As New ComponentPro.Excel.WorkbookManager" it throws the exception "Your license key for ComponentPro.Excel is expired or used for an older version. Please contact ComponentPro Sales Team at sales@componentpro.com. If you already have a license, please log in to our portal at https://www.componentpro.com/account to apply the license key shown on the account dashboard page."

The file I recently downloaded is named UltimateStudio-Pro_Standard_7.2.234.54.exe.  I noticed that when I originally downloaded v6.4 in 2016 and that down file was named UltimateStudio_Standard_v6.4.60924.exe.  And, in Aug 2018, I successfully updated to v6.8, the file downloaded was UltimateStudio_Standard_v6.8.4155.exe.

The newest download is named "-Pro_Standard" which is different that the past downloads which did not include "-Pro".  Could that be it, or is it a difference between v6 and v7?

Right now my application is broken as a result of this issue.   Thank you for your help.

Jim
