GraphStudio Update Instructions for ZoomCharts Expiration Issue

Overview

To simplify third party software licensing for TigerGraph Inc. and its users for the long term, TigerGraph will no longer be licensing the ZoomCharts visualization library after December 31, 2023. This is purely a licensing issue and is not related to the functionality or performance of ZoomCharts.

  • New versions of the TigerGraph Suite which do use ZoomCharts has been developed for the 3.6 and 3.9 versions of TigerGraph.

  • TigerGraph 3.9.3 already uses the new version.

  • TigerGraph Cloud instances have been updated or will update before the end of 2023.

We encourage you to perform an update as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features and improvements in TigerGraph Suite. Failure to update before the expiration date may result in the display of a "License Expired" label in your graph visualizations.

No other features will be affected and this upgrade will not affect production use or result in any downtime for the upgrading system.

If you have any questions or require assistance during the upgrade process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team at support@tigergraph.com. We are here to help you.
