Release version: 11.0
Release date: 2nd March 2026
Notes
Compatibility Warning
The Lasernet Connectors for Microsoft Dynamics 365 are currently not compatible with Lasernet Core 11.0. We are working towards launching these two products together, but until then, current customers and partners with the Dynamics 365 connectors should continue to use Lasernet Core 10.
Note
Lasernet Core 11.0 is a release that delivers significant advancements in several key areas.
Because of the underlying architectural changes in this release, if you are considering upgrading to Lasernet Core 11.0, we recommend that you thoroughly review the release notes and documentation, fully test your configuration, and reach out to your technical team for support.
This note does not apply to the Lasernet Connectors for Microsoft Dynamics 365, which must continue to use Lasernet Core 10.

New Features
For more information, see the accompanying detailed information about the new features and enhancements in this release.
Installation, Administration, Configuration, and Management
New Manage tool for Lasernet Core administration, log viewing, and job management.
New offline license activation process and portal.
New Lasernet Service Manager application for creating, starting and stopping, and administering Lasernet Core environment services and the Lasernet Config Server service.
The registration and administration of environment licenses is centralized in Lasernet Config Server and managed through the Manage tool.
Ability to set a maximum age for log files.
Form Engine and Form Editor
PDF/UA support for improved accessibility.
Ability to start or stop grab mode on demand from Lasernet Form Editor.
Support for vertical and horizontal gradient fill effects in shapes added to EMF forms.
Insert an image into the centre of a QR code.
Ability to search the property values of form design objects.
Ability to search for data from the selected grab file, as presented in the form design.
Lasernet Developer
Workspace feature that synchronizes Lasernet configuration changes between Lasernet developers working in teams.
Multi-threading and batch mode have been added to the General tab for any input module polling for jobs.
The Scheduling tab provides an improved UI/UX for modules that set up scheduler events.
In Lasernet Developer, properties that support JobInfo substitution are marked with an icon.
Support for app registration authentication in the Outlook Mail input and output modules.
Ability to start or stop grab mode on demand from Lasernet Developer.
Ability to specify custom mail headers for Mail Output and Outlook Mail Output modules.
Support for app registration authentication in the Web Server Input module.
Cipher selection added for FTPS connections.
Ability to use JobInfo substitution in SharePoint 365 connections to specify subsite and document library by name (instead of ID).
Printer Service
The Lasernet Printer Service now supports:
EMF to RAW printing.
Font embedding in print jobs.
Job Engine and Kubernetes
Lasernet Core 11 includes a new job engine that provides several new features to modules. These advancements ensure that jobs are processed more efficiently in server environments. The job engine running within each Lasernet Core environment now transfers jobs to the Lasernet Config Server when jobs are paused, scheduled, combined, or fail. Lasernet Config Server stores the jobs, and then when a job is released (through the Job Status page of Manage), the Config Server assigns it to an environment for processing. This supports load balancing and failover in environments using virtual machines or in Docker containers managed by Kubernetes.
Kubernetes pod scaling is supported for the following input modules:
FTP Input
SFTP Input
Mail Input
File Input
Note
Lasernet support for deployment in a Kubernetes environment will initially be available only for our hosted offering.
This approach will enable us to develop experience, knowledge, and best practice around deploying Lasernet in Kubernetes. At a later date, after we complete this build-up phase of our Kubernetes project, we will be able to offer all customers and partners access to Lasernet in containerized form along with comprehensive guidance and documentation.
Failover functionality has been added to engines and reworked in output modules.
Job events are now supported for all modules.
OCR
OCR Forms and dictionary content are now stored in the Config Server database. Forms are managed through the Manage tool.
