      titleLicensing Example

      Assume Suppose you purchase Visere Captura on January 1st1, 2025.

      • You will have access to version upgrades and technical support until January
      1st
      • 1, 2026.
      You
      • If you decide not
      up pay the
      • to renew maintenance in 2027
      .  At this time
      • , you can continue using any version
      of Visere Captura
      • released before January
      1st
      • 1, 2026.
      On July 2028
      • If you decide to upgrade
      your Visere Captura.  The upgrade has to go in full year steps from the time of the original purchase and it is rounded up from the time you decide to upgrade.
      • in July 2028, the upgrade will cover full-year increments from the original purchase date:
        • Your upgrade will
      provide a license that will expire on January 1st
        • extend the license to January 1, 2029.

      provided a license
        • covered maintenance until January
      1st
        • 1, 2027
      .  That means that your upgrade cost will have to cover two years, from January 1st, 2027 to January 1st, 2029.If, instead of upgrading a year later, you decide to upgrade five years later, then the cost of purchasing a new version will be lower than paying retroactively and you should purchase a new version
        • , you will pay for two years of upgrades (from January 1, 2027, to January 1, 2029).
      • If you wait five years to upgrade, purchasing a new version may be more cost-effective than paying retroactively. In this case, buying a new license would be the better option.
