Version Compatibility
Version 6 of all of our products were released in August, 2016. Version 6 products and the corresponding Version 5 products can be installed and run on the same system. If you have already purchased and installed a Version 5 product, you can continue using it on your system, and your use of the Version 6 product in Trial mode, or your entry of a new registration code for a Version 6 product will not affect your Version 5 registration. However, a Version 5 registration cannot be used in a Version 6 product, so you will see a “Registration Failed” message if you enter one.
Upgrade Policy
Registered users of Version 5 of our products are eligible to receive upgrades to Version 6 of their purchased products according to the following upgrade policy:
Free Upgrades
Any Version 5 product purchased between March 1, 2016 and August 31, 2016 is eligible for a free upgrade to the corresponding Version 6 product. If you are eligible for one or more free upgrades, we will send you an email with the Version 6 upgrade registration codes by the end of September, 2016. However, if you wish to receive your upgrade code sooner, please request that via our Contact page and we will provide it to you via email within 1-2 business days.
Paid Upgrades
If you purchased any Version 5 product before March 1, 2016, you are eligible for a paid upgrade to the corresponding Version 6 product, which we offer at a substantial discount compared to the full product price. You can purchase your upgrade via the Purchase page on our website. Please see that page for upgrade pricing.
Earlier Versions
Version 4 and earlier products are not eligible for a free or paid upgrade. So, if you wish to use a Version 6 product, you must purchase it at the full price. See our Purchase page for details.
