Lightburn update for Neje

[giusrosano (giuseppe rosano)]

I use light burn with a Neje master 2 s. I have the license up to version 0.9.24. If I update to the latest version can I get improvements in operation? What changes? Is there a way to save the settings from the old version and bring them back to the new one?

You can read about all the changes for each version in the News section of the LightBurn website:
News - Development updates and bug fixes – LightBurn Software

There’s no need to manage your own settings as you can install on top of your current installation and LightBurn will retain settings.

You may want to take a backup just in case something goes wrong. You can do so by going to File->Export prefs.

Note that unless you’ve renewed your license probably doesn’t give you access to the latest version. If you apply the update without having a valid license period for the version installed you’ll be stuck with a non-working application.

So I can’t upgrade from the version I currently use and paid for directly to the latest one?

Not at the upgrade price. You have to buy a current license and then you can upgrade yearly.

Actually this isn’t accurate. You can renew at any time with your existing license and get the latest version.

I want to make sure I understand what you’re asking.

If your license expired in 2022, you wouldn’t be able to download the latest version and install it. However, you would be able to install any version that was released through the valid license upgrade period.

My assumption is that since you’re on a rather old version that your upgrade period has lapsed. If that’s not the case and you’re eligible for the latest version then it should work without issue.

What I was warning about was let’s say your license expired in 2022, and you applied the latest version, your key would not be valid and the installation would not work. You would need to then downgrade to be able to use LightBurn.

My license expired in 2022 and I now use the latest version available in 2022. I had come across the renewal page and it seemed like I could only do it by paying 27 euros

Yes. By getting the renewal you will be able to update to the latest version.

so can I avoid purchasing the full license? Can I upgrade to the latest version throughout 2024?

Once you update your key from the web store, it will make your license key ‘current’, then add +1 year of updates. So if you renewed an old key today, you can use the version released as of this moment, +1 year of renewals - correct.
