.. note::  **Change to Product Package**

   To improve clarity and consistency, HOOPS has adopted a unified naming scheme across all products.

   New package names now include product, version, platform, architecture, and compiler details.
   HOOPS Exchange binaries and headers have been added to the desktop versions of HOOPS Visualize for easier usage of HOOPS Sprocket Exchange.  

   A new sandbox, *mfc_exchange_sandbox*, has been added with HOOPS Sprocket Exchange enabled by default.

   **Product Consolidation FAQ**

   The HOOPS suite of products has been streamlined and brings a host of changes with it! `Read the FAQ <https://www.techsoft3d.com/resources/blog/tech-soft-3d-product-consolidation-faqs>`__ for more details.
