How are Versions Named ?

Releases are classified into 3 types, Major, Minor and Maintenance.

The major release or version is defined by the 1st digit of the product version . It will include significant functional changes compared to the previous version.

The minor release, defined by the 2nd digit of the product version, will include small functional changes and bug fixes.

A Maintenance release, defined by the 3rd digit of the product version, will include only bug fixes.

 

How many licenses do I need ?

You will require a licence for each computer you wish to install the software on. Perpetual licences for Virtual RadiographyTM modules can be purchased on either a "per seat" or "site" basis. Time-limited licences are also available, free of charge, for the purpose of evaluating the software.

The only difference between the "per seat" and the "site" licence is the number of computers that are included. The "per seat" licence will specify how many computers (i.e. seats) are licensed and the hardware ids for each, a "site" licence is the same except the user is not limited in the number of computers they can specify. In addition, all students enrolled at an institution with a "site" licence will be eligible for a single seat licence for their personal use.

Discounts are available for multiple licences. Please refer to the current pricing information

 

Are upgrades free ?

Major upgrades will require a new licence which will be at a reduced rate for existing licence holders or free if the licence was purchases within the year prior to the release..

Minor and maintenance upgrades are free to all licence holders.

 

What if I buy a licence just before a major release ?

If you have purchased a licence less than 1 year before the release of the new major version, Shaderware will gladly provide you with a free upgrade. contact us for details.
