What's New in v2026.0 PU3
General
S-Code (Subscription) License
Access UBS AIB v2026.0 introduces the S-Code subscription licensing model, transitioning from perpetual licensing to an annual subscription model. This ensures customers receive continuous product improvements, regulatory updates, and technical support.
License Acknowledgement
Before activating the S-Code license, users must acknowledge and agree to the subscription licensing terms.
Clear messaging about the transition to subscription-based licensing is displayed during activation.
Expired License Behaviour
After S-Code license expiry, users cannot access versions prior to v2026.0.
View-only mode is available from v2026.0 onwards with report access only (S-Code license).
Perpetual license customers remain unaffected by these changes.
Version Access Control
Users with expired S-Code licenses cannot launch or access non-S-Code builds dated before December 31, 2025.
The system validates license status on application launch.
Note: This change applies only to customers using S-Code subscription licenses. Existing perpetual license holders can continue using their licenses as before. Contact your Account Manager for questions about license transitions.
