License expired, can i buy 3.X license for 2.X installation

Like the title explains;

Our license has expired. But the installation is a 2.8.32 version. Can i buy a license from here:

https://grabaperch.com/buy

which is acutally a 3.x license, and use it for our 2.8.32 installation? It is not possible for now for us to upgrade to 3 (yet).

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by expired? Perch licenses don't expire.

You can use a Perch 3 license key for a Perch 2 installation, yes.

You'll want to update your Perch 2 installation to 2.8.34 to keep it working for longer, and you should plan to upgrade to Perch 3 in time.

Thank you for your response.

When I login, it says; 'Sorry, your license key isn't valid for this domain.'. I'll ask the accountmanager if somehting has changed to the domain the key is linked with. Otherwise we'll buy a new one.

If your server is now running PHP 7, you'll need to update to 2.8.34.
