Migrate from 10.x to 11.x

Version 11.x is fully API-compatible with version 10.x. Most applications can upgrade by simply updating the NuGet package without code changes. Follow these steps to complete the migration.

Update the License Key

You may need to update your license key before upgrading to version 11.x.

• 30-Day Free Trial License: Visit the Request a Trial License page to obtain a free license for evaluation.
• Annual Online Full License: Your license will continue to work with the new SDK version. Go to Customer Portal to get your license key.
• Perpetual License: Please contact our sales team to update your license.

Update the NuGet Package

Update the package using Visual Studio:

1. Open your project in Visual Studio.
2. In the Solution Explorer, right-click your project and select “Manage NuGet Packages…”.
3. Go to the “Updates” tab.
4. Find Dynamsoft.DotNet.BarcodeReader.Bundle in the list of upgradable packages.
5. Click “Update” to install the latest version.

Upgrade Template Files

The template file format has changed. Templates created for version 10.x may not be fully compatible with version 11.x. Use the Template Upgrade Tool to convert your existing templates to the new format.

Rebuild the Project

After updating the NuGet package, clean and rebuild your project to ensure all dependencies are properly linked.
