Software Upgrade Policy

 

Minor Updates
When you purchase any of our Horizon DataSys software products, all in-version updates of your product are free. In-version or minor updates are updates of which the first version number has not changed. For instance – if you’ve purchased version 9.0, you can upgrade to version 9.1 free of charge.

If you have subscribed to our annual support program (GOLD or PLATINUM) which is offered at the time of purchase – you will receive free major updates and upgrades as well as prioritized technical support.
Annual support services can only be purchased at the time of purchase.

Customers that have not purchased annual maintenance will need to check back periodically at our website for any available minor updates.

Major Upgrades

Major upgrades are indicated by a change in the product version number. So an upgrade from 9.x to 10.x is a major upgrade. Major upgrades usually have a significant amount of improvements and new features.
Therefore, you will have to pay an upgrade fee if you want to take advantage of a major update or version upgrade. For clients that have purchased annual maintenance (Gold and Platinum support) the cost to upgrade to would be as follows:

Major Upgrade Costs

SILVER – Full List Price – Standard support benefits
GOLD – FREE – No additional cost
–   Customers with current GOLD support status will receive free major upgrades and prioritized technical support
PLATINUM – FREE – No additional cost
–   Volume Price Protection for additional licenses. Free major upgrades and prioritized support. Contact your account manager for a detailed quotation.

If you do not purchase Gold or Platinum support packages; you will not be forced to upgrade and you will still be entitled to technical support if you continue to use the previous version of our products.

Major Upgrades: New Release Upgrade Guarantee

If Horizon DataSys publishes a new version within 60 days of a purchased software license, the customer will be entitled to a FREE license upgrade to the new release.
