October 4th, 2023 – Irvine, CA – Profound Logic, a leading provider of cutting-edge modernization solutions for IBM i systems, is proud to announce two transformative updates to its Profound.js platform, designed to bolster security and enhance business efficiency. 

Strengthened Security in Profound.js/API 7: 

Profound Logic reaffirms its dedication to safeguarding businesses with essential security enhancements in Profound.js/API 7: 

  • New License Key: Version 7 and beyond now require a new license key, delivering heightened compatibility and security for our valued existing customers.

The Purpose Behind Security Enhancements: 

These updates are driven by Profound Logic’s unwavering commitment to prioritizing security, ensuring that user data remains protected, and businesses are fortified against emerging threats. 

Empowering Business with OAuth2 Authentication in Profound.js 7.0.0:
