HLM transitions to the SSI Live™ software-as-subscription service.
We are pleased to announce that after several years of development, SSI is offering a brand new HLM software licensing, delivery, and support model. We call it SSI Live™. HLM is the first program to transition to the new model. SSI Live™ is a subscription, similar to the popular rental licenses that we used to market, but with many more features.With your renewable SSI Live™ subscription, you are entitled to many more benefits in comparison to previous licensing models.

Please refer to an email recently sent from no-reply@ssilive.com sharing more details on how to activate your subscription account.
HLM 6 users:
As you are aware, the final release of HLM 6 occurred in 2009, which is more than a decade ago. The current release of HLM is Version 8. Software products built on older operating systems and third-party components become increasingly more difficult to maintain and support, and as a consequence, also less secure. Due to such concerns, we will phase out support for HLM 6 at the end of this calendar year (12/31/2020). Because you have a perpetual license, you certainly may continue to use the program according to the terms of the end user license agreement beyond this year. However, as of January 1, 2021, our HLM Support Desk will not respond to HLM 6 inquiries.
