Perfex Brain Pro release notes

Updates

• FixedFix: Upgrade Database works from any earlier release (no gap in the migration sequence)
• ImprovedUpload the new files and run Perfex's Upgrade Database for the module: no manual step, every setting and record is kept

License

• ImprovedEvery license call (activate, check, pause) now sends Brain Pro's sellmycode.net item id, as sellmycode.net requires
• ImprovedA purchase code bought for another product, or an unknown one, only shows "This purchase code is not valid for Perfex Brain Pro." It is never activated, and nothing about the other product is shown
• ImprovedAn activation made by an older version with another product's purchase code is paused automatically and removed from this install; enter your Brain Pro purchase code to switch Brain Pro back on

License

• ImprovedWhen the site moves to another domain (a new address, a staging or test copy), the license is never activated for the new domain on its own: not when the module is switched on again, not by the scheduled check, not when a page opens. Brain Pro stays switched off until an administrator confirms: the License page and the admin banner say "This site now runs on <new domain>. Activate your license for this domain?" with an "Activate on <new domain>" button. When all activation slots are in use, the page shows sellmycode.net's hint and the Request a Transfer button
• ImprovedThe old domain is never paused from the new one (module deactivation and the Pause button only use a token of this domain); it keeps its slot until the author releases it
• ImprovedPaused, revoked or otherwise invalid licenses: besides Reactivate, "Use a different purchase code" opens a code field on the page. The stored code is replaced only when sellmycode.net confirms the new one; if it fails, the current code stays and the error is shown
• ImprovedSwitching the module on again on the same domain still reactivates the kept purchase code automatically
• ImprovedBlocked licenses: when the author blocks the purchase code (License Blocked) or this domain for it (This Site Is Blocked for This License), Brain Pro switches off on the next check and the License page and admin banner show sellmycode.net's hint with an Appeal / Contact the Author button; Reactivate is hidden, a different purchase code can still be used
• ImprovedThe license is checked every 6 hours instead of once a day, and also when an administrator or staff member opens a Brain Pro page and the last check is more than 6 hours old. That check runs after the page is sent (or in the background), so pages never wait for it, and several pages opened at once make one check at most
• ImprovedNew texts in all 9 languages

License

• FixedOpening the License page address of a deactivated module answers "page not found" instead of a server error
• NewNew License page (Brain Pro › License and Setup › Module Licenses): activate with your sellmycode.net purchase code, see the license type, domain, activations used and limit, update period, last check and how long the install works without a check; Verify Now, Pause License on This Site and Reactivate, in an in-page dialog, light and dark, in all 9 languages. Only administrators can activate; other staff see "contact your administrator"
• SecurityAnswers from the license server are signed (Ed25519) and checked against the key built into the module; when the server cannot be reached the module keeps working until the grace deadline of the last confirmed answer
• FixedWithout a valid license (not activated, paused, revoked, a code for another product, or past the grace deadline) Brain Pro switches off and Perfex works as without the module: Perfex's own dashboard comes back, the Insights tabs, portal Overview, scheduled reports, alerts, digests, snapshots and data feeds stop, share links, feeds and unsubscribe links answer "License not valid" (HTTP 403), and other modules (Cash & Capacity, AI Staff, the Brain Pro add-ons) no longer see Brain Pro. Nothing is deleted; activating the license brings everything back
• ImprovedInstalls on localhost, *.localhost, *.test, *.local and private network addresses need no license
• ImprovedDeactivating the module pauses this site (the slot stays reserved for the domain), activating it again resumes it; uninstalling pauses and removes the stored purchase code
• FixedFixed: uninstalling the module no longer stops on a missing class

• ImprovedAI Brain works with OpenAI-compatible servers on your private network (LiteLLM proxy, Ollama, vLLM) once an administrator allows it in Settings; link-local and other reserved addresses stay blocked
• ImprovedNo API key needed for OpenAI-compatible servers that do not use one
• ImprovedThe checked server address is pinned for the request

• NewDrag-and-drop dashboards: global, role and personal, 41 core widgets, 16 renderers
• New33 add-ons included (754 widgets); each switches on by itself when its Perfex module is active
• NewDrill-down: click any number, slice, bar or month to list the records behind it
• NewCustom Metrics: counts, totals, averages, breakdowns and monthly trends without code, plus formulas
