Upgrade Policy

Nitro product releases fall under two categories: major and minor. A major release is typically identified by a change in the first digit of the release version number, e.g. 6.1 -> 7.0 and represents new product features and major enhancements. On the other hand, a minor release is identified by an increment in one of the successive release numbers, i.e. 6.0 -> 6.5 and generally includes minor enhancements and feature updates. Maintenance updates have very few changes, typically include bug fixes and performance enhancements, and are denoted by changes to the revision number, e.g. 6.0.1 -> 6.0.2.

Upgrade Rules and Eligibility

• Minor releases and maintenance updates are issued free of charge (FOC) to customers who own the same major version (5.X, 6.X, etc.)
• Major releases are issued FOC to customers who purchase within 30 days prior to the major version release date. Note: unofficially, we’ll allow FOC upgrades within 60 days of purchase for those customers who complain / inquire.
• Customers who have valid Upgrade Assurance or Software Assurance are entitled to receive major version upgrades FOC for the duration of their UA / SA subscription
• Customers cannot do partial major upgrades on volume licenses – for example, if a customer owns 5 licenses and wants to upgrade, he/she must upgrade all 5 licenses
• Customers who wish to upgrade from a previous version of Pro to latest version of Pro OCR and who have valid UA or SA, can obtain the upgrade to Pro FOC and must pay the OCR upgrade price difference ($20)
• Upgrades are only possible for customers of Nitro Pro 5.x or 6.x – older version customers do not qualify for an upgrade path to version 7.x and must purchase the new version at full price
