Software Assurance provides the purchaser with access to all Upgrades & Updates at no further cost for a period of 1 year. Usually upgrades are sold at a cost of around 40% of a full purchase, whilst Software Assurance is priced at 20% of a full purchase. This provides you with a discount on the next version of Automise should it be released within your software assurance period.

Software Assurance can only be purchased at the time you purchase or upgrade Automise. You will be able to renew your software assurance when your current software assurance expires.

Without Software Assurance you may :

Download and use every minor update made available for the purchased version, for example if you purchased version 2, you can upgrade free of charge to 2.1, 2.2, etc.

To upgrade to the next major release (eg. 3.0) will require the payment of an upgrade fee.

With Software Assurance you may : 

Download & use every minor update and any new Major Version made available within your Software Assurance Period, for example if you purchased Automise 2, you can upgrade free of charge to 2.1, 2.2, 3.0, etc.

In the above example, if version 3 is released within your Software Assurance Period then you would receive that upgrade at no extra cost.
