Optional $0.99 upgrade for TCP port scanner

LanScan v6 also introduces a new TCP port scanner, which is a paying upgrade of $0.99 for current LanScan Pro users. This upgrade is optional and is the first paying upgrade since 2011. It’s not scheduled to add other paying upgrade in a near future.

You'll find more informations about TCP port scanner here.

Hi, I've also sent an email message, but in LanScan 6.9.0 (449) I don't have the menu to enter the token from LanScan Pro and redeem the v5 in-app purchase

@manzu Answered you by email with a free redeem code to LanScan 6.9.0 ! As stated, automatic free migration from LanScan Pro to LanScan was available during 3 years since march 2018. It has been stopped since December 2020.

Thank you very much! the December 2020 information was more than enough to clarify but thank you so much for your kindness in giving me a free upgrade!

I'm sorry if the migration period was written somewhere and I missed it but it's good info to have.
