Hi Maritza, 

If its a fixed file-based (also known as node-locked) license then I do not believe there are any restrictions on which version they can be applied to.

Fixed SLM licenses support versions 3.8.1 and on. 

I can verify if those older versions are supported if you can let us know the version number(s) that you're trying to use.

    Thank you for the response.  Starting 12/31/2022, our fixed licenses will not be file based.  Instead, a portal is used that allows me to send a link to each user and clicking it activates their product.  Because of the change from file-based license keys to this new method, we're concerned about the possibility that old versions would not be activated.  Would you know?

      Yes, so that would be the SLM license type from the previous message. The oldest version that would be supported with SLM fixed licenses is ReadyAPI v3.8.1.
