New Avalara Avatax Integration
Avalara
We're happy to announce that SOLO Server Automation now supports real-time, location-based tax calculation through a new integration with Avalara Avatax! For more information, view our announcement blog.
Administrative Interface Enhancements
- Custom parameter sets can now be quickly cloned through a new Clone option in the fly out menu on the custom parameter set listing page.
- When manually adding a license, you can now specify the Licensee Name and Email at license creation rather than having to edit the license and back fill the information after creation.
- When editing a product or product option, the ProductID and OptionID are now displayed as read only.
- Protection PLUS 5 license file content can now be previewed in unencrypted format on the license details page.
Customer License Portal Enhancements
- On the installation history page in the customer license portal:
- For active installations, the license file can now be downloaded, simplifying license refreshing for licenses that do not have internet access.
- The last check in date is now displayed in the listing, allowing customers to identify which installations are phoning home.
- The reset customer password page now includes a honeypot CAPTCHA to help prevent automated bots from performing random searches.
Web Services Enhancements
- The XmlCustomerService.GetCustomerDataByAuthor web method now includes the CustomerID in the result data.
- The XmlActivationService.ActivateInstallation and ActivateInstallationLicenseFile web methods now include the Product, LicenseID, Quantity, and ActivationsLeft xml elements when activation fails due to no more activations remaining (result code 5013).
