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.
