Coffalyser.Net - License Renewal or Update - User Action May Be Required
Coffalyser.Net users may be required to take action in order to continue using it uninterrupted after 31 May 2025. Different actions are required depending on your installed version (find out which version of Coffalyser.Net you have installed).
- If you have v.250317.1029, no action is required.
- If you have v.240129.1959, renew your license before 31 May 2025.
- If you have v.220513.1739, update before 31 May 2025.
New Version: v.250317.1029
We released Coffalyser.Net v.250317.1029 on 27 March 2025 but did not send out a general release notification because it only contains changes related to regulatory compliance (release notes).
We do not recommend updating if you already use v.240129.1959 unless you are required to do so for regulatory compliance, as there would be no benefit. There are no functional differences and the license expiry dates for both versions are identical.
If you have v.220513.1739, then it does not matter whether you update to v.240129.1959 or v.250317.1029.
Renewing a License for v.240129.1959
After following the renewal procedure your license will be valid until 31 May 2026. Extending your license is free of charge.
The procedure below requires sufficient network permissions to establish a connection with MRC Holland’s servers to automatically retrieve your renewed license. If this does not work for you, you can also renew your license manually.
- Start Coffalyser.Net.
- In the Coffalyser.Net Server Selection dialog, right-click on the server and select License. If Coffalyser.Net starts with the Login dialog instead, bring up the server selection dialog by clicking on the select button next to the server address.
- Click on the Download button (next to your license key).
- Click on the Always button to connect with our server, then click OK.
- Click on the Install License button.
Your license should now be valid until 31 May 2026, and you can continue to use Coffalyser.Net as usual.
Updating v.220513.1739 (or Earlier)
About a year ago we released Coffalyser.Net v.240129.1959. The main reason was to update preconfigured versions of Microsoft SQL Server to 2022. Since Microsoft’s support for the previously bundled SQL Server 2014 SP3 ended in July 2024, there has been an increased risk of security and stability issues.
Updating Coffalyser.Net is also required if you use a custom version of SQL Server, but your SQL Server will not automatically be updated or replaced. If your version of SQL Server is still supported by Microsoft, you can continue to use it without problems – even if it is an earlier version. If you use an outdated custom installation of SQL Server, the new version of Coffalyser.Net will warn you.
More recently we released Coffalyser.Net v.250317.1029, but this version only has changes to regulatory information and is functionally equivalent to v.240129.1959. It does not matter which of these versions you choose.
Coffalyser.Net v.240129.1959 and v.250317.1029 do not include any changes to data analysis and results display as compared to v.220513.1739. We anticipate that updating is straightforward and does not require alterations to operating procedures. For a full list of changes, consult the release notes of v.240129.1959 and v.250317.1029.
