Linx 5.13 and earlier: Online plugin downloads discontinued

Support
1

Download of plugins for Linx 5.13 and earlier will fail due to network security changes made to downstream plugin infrastructure. You will get plugin download errors when

  1. Opening a solution that contains a plugin Linx hasn’t installed before.
  2. Installing Linx 5.13 and earlier and trying to download plugins.
  3. Deploying your Solution to a Linx server that have not downloaded plugins yet.

The error will look like this: “The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.”

There are two solutions

  1. Upgrade to a later version of Linx. You can download it here.
  2. Install plugins from a local folder.

To install plugins from a local folder:

  • Download and unzip the Offline Plugins file. Note the feed folder for Plugins: Here
  • Install your Linx 5.13 as usual
  • After installation, go to “Help → License” and paste your new License code that will allow Offline plugin installation. You will need to get in contact with us at support@linx.software to get an offline license.
  • Go to “File → Configuration” and insert the Plugins Feed path and Update. Like this:

Thank you Dawie, we are using version 5.13 and we have a lot of projects, so upgrading to the next version would be a major hassle for the company. The support I received for this issue was fast and efficient and it works perfectly. Thank you for all the effort!
