Apparently there was an issue with the license files which would cause the demo version to appear expired.  I just uploaded a new version that corrects this problem.  Also, some files were missing in the Ideal Admin folder which have also been uploaded. 

Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause you.  If you’ve already installed the software, just replace the idealadmin folder with the one included in the new zip file and drop the *.lic files from the /ibb/bin folder in the zip file into the one on your board. 

It took a while, but Ideal BB.NET 3.1.6 is now available for download in both demo form and from the customer section of our web site in its full blown ready for product form.

This new version includes support for .NET 2.0 so make sure that your web platform supports the new framework before trying to install it.   There are some new features from the previous version, but the biggest change is that it now uses the 2.0 framework.  We haven’t had a chance to take advantage of many of the new framework features, but we do plan to in the future. 

This new release ditches the installer that we had shipped in previous versions.  The installer was bulky, hard to debug and didn’t support upgrades and merges.  After several days of deliberations we just decided it wasn’t worth supporting anymore.  So you’ll have to do a manual install which is fairly easy and similar to most other .NET web applications so it shouldn’t be too much trouble.

The next release will include both bug fixes and new feature upgrades.  We’ve already started on it and plan to have it ready to go at the end of June.  Of course if we find any serious bugs in the 3.1.6 release we will provide bug fixes for it and possibly minor releases in between 3.1.6 and 3.1.7.
