no, you don't have to expect incompatibilities.

IT WORKS AS ADVERTISED -- thank you so much -- I can say this -- for now I do not have spare funds to support this project and give users group chat but as soon as I have roughly 1000 PLN I will move to pro solution because you guys are worth every penny .. and your excellent open source project, in my case allowed me to produce a fun, functional working site for producers and music lovers in Poland IN MATTER OF DAYS ... we thank you !!!!

to be precise I am wondering if the pseudo-patch I applied caused a different encryption sequence - and if I apply the patches it will not decryot correctly

yes, you can either edit ossn.lib.system.php on your server (did it like that before writing the How-to)
or edit it locally and copy the complete file.

As in a live portal code (with switching caching off first)
