December 04, 2021

Fixes

  • Features from EFT Express and EFT Enterprise have been merged into one EFT, with some features part of "EFT core" and others repackaged into new or existing modules. (For example, EFT Express ESM license activates the Advanced Authentication Modes module when upgrading to Continuum.) Refer to Feature Availability in the EFT online help for details. (If you are upgrading from an earlier EFT version, the features you had previously licensed continue to be available.)

  • A new Enterprise Actions Module (EAM) is used to activate previous Enterprise-only features, such as executing scripts, performing folder and file operations, compressing/decompressing files, subroutines, dataset actions, and REST invocation

  • You can now deregister licenses in EFT. This is used in the event that you are moving EFT to a new computer, the wrong serial number was used on the server, the module was not supposed to be registered on the server or node, or you are moving between perpetual licenses to subscription-based keys.

  • The Event Rules modules that were in EFT Express (CCM, FTC, FMM, PGP, TEM) are now modules in the merged EFT platform and provide the same actions and events as before
