Thread: About map editions, licenses and software versions

Obviously, I need to explain in detail the concept of functioning of iGO software, for members who are not so familiar with the matter.

When starting, Igo first reads the licenses (the process of reading the language/voice files, branding, etc...here is not important), and then the content and determines whether they match.
That's why iGO can not operate without licenses, because it would require a completely different functioning of the program.
With the development of the application, restrictions were increased in this regard.

Genuine software requires a specific edition of maps, and exactly for that license(s).
These genuine licenses cover:
- Device model
- a specific version of the software and / or generation (this includes the type of OS - Android, IOS, or WinCE)
- a specific map edition
- certain region (Eastern Europe, Western, even can cover only some countries)
- and of course functions (maps, poi, tmc, fda ....)

Fully cr*cked software in the iGO world means
- the program works on any device
- the program reads any license
- with this license works on the software for which the license is intended - up to the date of publish (up to version 2.0 eg)
- the program can use any content
- covers all the functions that are covered by that license.
An example of this is the license I've posted that covers absolutely all the features up to the Primo 2.0 version (because it's so old), while Primo 2.4 does not see the ftr content with it. Therefore, an additional P2.4 license is required, or a newer license with the same coverage as the previous but intended for it is required.
Unfortunately, with the development of the application, NNG has no longer made a wide coverage license. Licenses that covered all options existed only with iGO8.

The partially cr*cked software works as follows
- requires matching of license and content
- can only cover features that the license supports for a particular region / edition / generation ...
Of course, there may be variations here
- to read different generations of maps and publishers, but that it can not cover all functions in all regions; that it can cover a particular function everywhere; that at one system covers more than the other, etc., etc...

With NG variants, the story is more complicated.
- even more dependence on licenses
- licenses cover less and less functionality (and are less available)
- great dependence on the operating system and the manufacturer
