License keys are bound to a specific product version (main version). Costs are to be expected when you update between main versions:</p> <h3 class="">Free Update Within the Same Main Version</h3> <p>An update within the <u>same main version</u> of the software is <u>totally free</u> of charge. Example: If you want to update TFORMer Designer from 8.0 to 8.1 this is an update within the same main version (V8). In this case your license key will remain valid. All you have to do is to download and install the new setup file.</p> <h3 class="">60% Discount on New Main Version</h3> <p>For updating <u>to a new main version</u> we charge <u>40% of the regular price</u> of the software. Example: An update from TFORMer Designer 7.5 to 8.1 is an update to a new main version (from 7 to 8). In this case your old license key is no longer valid for the new version. You have to order a new license key. For details please see below.</p> <h3 class="">Ordering an Update</h3> <p>Please <a href="https://www.tec-it.com/en/company/contact/onlineform/Default.aspx" title="Contact our sales team">contact our sales team</a> and request a quote for the update. You will then receive a special link where you can order your update online with the special discount for updates.</p> <h3 class="">Deadline for Free Updates (Grace Period)</h3> <p>If you purchased a software license and TEC-IT published a new main version within the next <span class="boldred" style="">45 days</span> from date of purchase, then you are entitled to a free update. After this time we charge 40% of the actual list price. If you have a service contract major updates are free during the duration of the contract (see below).</p> <h3 class="">Service Contract</h3> <p>We offer you the possibility to order a service contract. This contract lasts for 12 months. During this time you will benefit from the following advantages: <ul class=""> <li>Guaranteed response times for support requests</li> <li>Updates within the maintenance time are always free</li> </ul> </p> <h3 class="">Compatibility</h3> <p>If it is technically possible new software versions are compatible with the previous versions. </p> <p>A note for developers: With new major product versions usually an improved programming interface is available. Therefore you might be forced to adapt your applications when updating to a new main version (e.g. when updating software components like <a href="en/software/barcode-software/tbarcode/overview/Default.aspx" title="Barcode Generator SDK">TBarCode</a> or <a href="en/software/label-printing/label-software/labeling-sdk/Default.aspx" title="Report Generator SDK">TFORMer SDK</a>).</p></div><div class="ContentBlock post-big _none_C"><a id="15458" name="15458"></a><h2 class="" style="">Samples for Updating</h2> <table width="100%"><tr><th class="header">Update from</th><th class="header">to</th><th class="header">Price</th></tr><tr><td class="firstcol ">TBarCode V10.x (Single License)</td><td>TBarCode V11.x (Single License)</td><td>40% of USD 209 or 40% of EUR 168</td></tr><tr><td class="firstcol ">TBarCode V11.0 (Site License)</td><td>TBarCode V11.1 (Site License)</td><td>no charge (identical major product version)</td></tr></table> </div></div></div></div><div class="block-3 no-mar sidebar" xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt" xmlns:custom="customNS"><div class="block-3 bg-color-sidebar"><div class="block-inner widgets-area _none_A"><a id="107946" name="107946"></a><div class="widget-header">Buy</div> <a class="button single-color text-bright size-xlarge icon buy showonhover" data-category="FAQs > Updates" data-action="Buy" data-label="Online Order (107946)" href="https://www.tec-it.com/en/order/orderform/OrderForm.aspx"><span class="button-title">Online Order</span><span class="button-text"> Place Your Order Online </span></a> </div></div><div class="block-3 bg-color-sidebar"><div class="block-inner widgets-area _none_A"><a id="108167" name="108167"></a><div class="widget-header">Sales Contact</div><ul class=""> <li>Online: <a href=" https://www.tec-it.com/en/company/contact/onlineform/Default.aspx" title="Online Inquiry">Online Inquiry</a></li> <li>Email: <a href="mailto:sales@tec-it.com" title="Sales@tec-it.com">sales@tec-it.com</a></li> <li>Skype: <a href="skype:TECITSales?chat" title="TECITSales">TECITSales</a></li> <li>Phone: <a href="tel:+43725272720" title="[+43] (0)7252 / 72 720">[+43] (0)7252 / 72 720</a></li> <li>Fax: [+43] (0)7252 / 72 720 77</li> </ul> </div></div><div class="block-3 bg-color-sidebar"><div class="block-inner widgets-area _none_A"><a id="107947" name="107947"></a><div class="widget-header">Good to know:</div>If you already own a license you have the possibility to update to newer versions with special conditions as described below.
