Q1: Will my agents stop working if I do not update the license key? A: No, agents will continue to apply existing policies and run inventory. However, you will lose the ability to deploy new patches, onboard new devices, or use v11-exclusive features. After 30 days, the console enters a "soft lock."
Q2: Is there a cost for the updated license key? A: If you are within your Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) or active subscription period, the update is free. If your support has lapsed, you must renew maintenance to generate a v11-compatible key.
Q3: Can I revert to Endpoint Central 10 after installing the v11 key? A: No. The updated key writes a new registry/database flag. Downgrading the product requires a full server reinstall and restoration of a pre-upgrade database backup. Always snapshot before upgrading.
Q4: What about the Free Edition (25 endpoints)? Does it require an updated key for v11? A: Yes. Even the free edition requires a fresh v11 free license key. Download the free edition from the official site and request the free key. Old free keys from v7/v8/v9/v10 are invalid on v11.
Q5: How do I know if my updated key supports Windows 11 management? A: In the license portal, look for "Windows 11 Entitlement: Yes". If missing, request a key refresh specifically for Windows 11 support.
After applying the updated key, verify:
