Updater License Check

I'm creating an update project that uses License Check URL. When i checked the data received at the server I get the following:
licenseid=25
languageid=1033
version=2.1

My product version is 1.0.0.0 and my update is 1.1.0.0. Where is this 2.1 coming from? The only thing I could find was that the UPDATER.EXE had a version of 2.1. How do i send my current version of my application to the update licence check URL?

Re: Updater License Check

Hi Norm,

I have already replied to your question via email.
For posterity, here is the answer:
The version field is the updater's version indeed.
To retrieve the version of your application, you could encode the version as part of the licenseid when storing it in the registry. Then, serverside, parse the licenseid to extract the version.

Let me know how that works for you.
Best regards,
Eddie
