D♯ Engine has been updated. The new release introduces administrative enhancements, but from a development standpoint everything else works the same as in version 4.1.

Windows Installer
The installation process has been greatly simplified. The installation program allows you to either upgrade an existing installation or install the new version alongside previous versions, enabling client and project specific versions of D♯ Engine.

License Server
All licenses are now stored on and retrieved from our new License Server, which streamlines the handling of licenses. Moving licenses between developers now only requires changing the licensee on the server, no more copying license files!
