New version for activation and license verification (February 24, 2016)

In order to maintain the high level of quality of Zed! Pro, some new features have been implemented in Zed! Pro for Windows 1.0.170, Zed! Pro for Linux 1.0.174 and Zed! Pro for Mac 1.0.174.
These features are operational starting from February 24, 2016.
These improvements affect the activation and license verification processes so that any current license activation and the periodic online verification procedure require the new version of the software.
Verify that you are running one of the versions mentioned above (or a newer version). The Zed! Pro version is displayed by clicking on the "Help" button in a Zed! container, then "About …"
Otherwise you need to download and use the new version from your customer space.
