September 2015
Version: 11.23
- The licensing API has been enhanced so that it can correctly identify partition numbers greater than 255
- When configuring a node using the Robot NETWORK Explorer (the GUI), the option to “Reset my newly configured Node” has been updated so that when it’s selected, it will restart the node
