Software Version Upgrades (Example: 9.5.x to 10 or 9.4.x to 9.5.x):
- Customers have the opportunity to renew their Maintenance Subscription at the renewal cost with no additional fees for the first thirty (30) days after the Expiration date.
- After thirty (30) days from the date of Expiration, an additional fee of $100.00 or 10% of the renewal cost (whichever is greater) will be added to the cost of the renewal.
- After the grace period, the Maintenance Subscription cannot be renewed and an upgrade would need to be purchased.
NOTE: Customers upgrading two or more software versions at a time may be charged an additional version upgrade fee (Example: Upgrading from 9.4.x to 10). Please contact us for upgrade pricing.
