Links generated by v9.0.x are a new fully encrypted link format. Legacy links (v8.3.x and below) are still supported by v9 and will continue to work, but any links generated are in the new format.
By default upon install, the new link format will be the default accepted link type. The API config will allow for enabling the support of legacy link types.
A new .NET Core license must be generated for the API. You can request one by reaching out to membershub@fyb.com.au
