All minor upgrades are free, e.g. V12.1 to V12.2. If you do not have
Upgrade Assurance then there will be a small upgrade fee to upgrade major versions (e.g. V11 to V12), but this will be in line with our low pricing policy. Although licensees are advised to upgrade to the latest version, there is no requirement to do so. Licenses are perpetual, but support is not: basic support is free for 3 months from the date of purchase, and support after that requires an active Upgrade Assurance subscription. You will find full details of our upgrade policy in the
Upgrade Article.
