Use new SDK with old project/license?

Post by JeDi »

Hi,

If I use the TrackingTools API from the latest version of Motive, does it work with an older license (specifically one from 2011), and if so, can it load projects created in an older version of TrackingTools?

I am asking because I wrote some code using the latest SDK (and linked with the latest libraries), and everything runs but the attached listener is never called... We do have a newer license, but one of our developers has the hardware key at home for testing.

In other words, is the Motive SDK (TT_* API) bound to a hardware key/license of less than a year old, like the actual Motive software?

Greetings,
Jeroen

Hi Jeroen,

The Motive SDK does check for a license.

Yes, I understand. My question wasn't very clear now that I read it again, but what I wanted to know was whether the new SDK could load projects from an older tracking tools.

As I found out, it does not. However, I also found out you can install the older Tracking Tools alongside the new Motive, so my problem is solved nonetheless :-)
