Upgrade guide from net.dev.java.truelicense:truelicense:1.29 to 4.0.3 #15

I'm currently trying to upgrade from using net.dev.java.truelicense:truelicense:1.29 to 4.0.3, but am struggling to find any documentation on how exactly to do that on the site. All I can currently find is how to use the maven archetype, which we are not doing as far as I am aware.

Currently we decrypt the license keys by doing:

LicenseParam licenseParam = *implementation of de.schlichtherle.license.LicenseParam*
LicenseManager licenseManager = new LicenseManager(licenseParam);
licenseManager.install(new File("path_to_license_file"));
LicenseContent licenseContent = lm.verify();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(new StringReader(licenseContent.getInfo()));
// use props to toggle features

How would we go about doing this same code using the new global.namespace.truelicense:truelicense?

I assume I need to include the global.namespace.truelicense:truelicense-v1:4.0.3 dependency, but beyond that I can't find any documentation on what to do.

There is no upgrade path from TrueLicense 1.X because the API was completely redesigned for TrueLicense 2.X, so you need to reimplement your solution. For documentation on TrueLicense 4.X, please refer to https://truelicense.namespace.global . If you still have questions, please feel free to reopen this ticket.
