When you purchase 010 Editor, you receive free upgrades for a
period of 1 year from the date of purchase. We currently have two
types of releases:
- Major Releases - e.g. Version 3.0 -> 4.0 -> 5.0, etc. (Includes major changes to the interface and new functionality)
- Minor Releases - e.g. Version 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2 -> 3.0.3, etc. (Includes mostly bug fixes and perhaps a few very minor changes)
Upgrading to a new major release is free if you purchased
within one year; however, if you purchased your license longer than one year ago,
you will have to pay an upgrade fee to upgrade to the new major release.
Once you pay an upgrade fee, that entitles you to another year of
free upgrades from the new date of purchase. To purchase an upgrade, please
visit our store and click the Purchase button to
the right of '010 Editor Upgrade/Maintenance'.
If you have access to run a certain version e.g. 3.0.4 and a new minor release 3.0.5 is
issued, you may upgrade to the new minor release even if it has been more than a year
since you purchased. Basically, to increase the last digit of your version (3.0.5 -> 3.0.6)
is free, but increasing the first digit of your version requires
either a free upgrade (within one year of purchase) or an upgrade fee.
