Migrating to 4D v11 SQL
As 4D Runtime Volume License Sponsored's feature is now integrated in the 4D Developer Professional offer under the name of 4D Unlimited Desktop, there is no need to migrate or purchase this license in 4D v11 SQL. Similarly, 4D Runtime Volume License Light doesn't make sense anymore in 4D v11 SQL.
Regarding 4D Runtime Volume License Professional owners, they sould now turn themselves to the 4D OEM Desktop offer which settings can fit exactly their deployment needs. Contact your 4D Sales representative for a personalized estimation.
NOTE: 4D Runtime Volume License was previously called 4D Engine in versions prior to 4D 2004.
