Hi Horst,

Marvel 1.x does not use the same licensing system as Marvel 2.x, you cannot use your Basic license with Marvel 1.x. We are still planning to release a version of Marvel 1.x that removes the licensing requirement, to better align it with how Marvel 2.x works. There is no specific timeline for this release.

Thanks,  
Steve
