Upgrades

Upgrade Policy

An order can be upgraded at any time as long as your maintenance subscription has not expired. The full cost of your original purchase is credited towards the cost of the upgrade, this means you pay the difference between the upgrade order and your original order. Only one order can be used as credit for an upgrade.

Although you can upgrade at anytime there is an advantage to upgrading earlier:

• Upgrade within 90 days of purchase or renewal: The maintenance expiry date of your subscription resets so it will be active for another full year.
• Upgrade during your subscription: The maintenance expiry date of your subscription does not change so it will remain the same as the original order.
• Upgrade within the last 90 days of your subscription: You will be required to renew your maintenance subscription in addition to purchasing the upgrade. With this addition the maintenance expiry date of your subscription resets so it will be active for another full year.
   

What is an upgrade?

The following situations are upgrades.

1. Upgrading from a lower pricing plan of a product to a more expensive plan of the same product. For example, one can upgrade from Aspose.Total for .NET Developer Small Business license to Aspose.Total for .NET Developer OEM license. Note that you cannot upgrade from a lower pricing plan of one product to a higher plan of a different product. For example, one cannot upgrade from Aspose.Total for .NET Developer Small Business license to Aspose.Total for Java Developer OEM license.
2. Adding more products to your order. For example, if you have an order which includes Aspose.Words, then you can add Aspose.Cells to your order. When you perform an upgrade, please choose both products: Aspose.Words and Aspose.Cells. If you want to add more than two products then you can but we suggest you instead upgrade to the Aspose.Total suite as that includes all products for one platform and is the best value for money.
3. Upgrading from individual products to Aspose.Total Product Family. If you have bought a license for any product then you can upgrade to Aspose.Total Product Family of the same or a larger license type.

To upgrade an existing order

   Upgrade cases can be complicated. If your order is missing from the list or if you cannot upgrade your existing order using the purchase system, then please visit with our friendly sales staff and we will try to sort it out manually.
