Software Update Policy
Minor Updates vs Major Upgrades
A minor update is a revision that encapsulates software bug fixes and often includes small functional enhancements. Minor updates are signified by minor version number increments. For example, a minor update from version 5.0 would be 5.0.1, 5.1, 5.2.1, etc.
A major upgrade is a revision that involves extensive engineering work to provide significant enhancements to a product. Major upgrades are often accompanied with new documentation and are signified by an increment in the integer portion of the version number. For example, a major upgrade from version 5.0 would be labeled 6.0.
Resource Builder registered users are entitled to free minor updates. For example, if you are a registered user of version 5.0 you are able to download and use updates labeled 5.0.1, 5.1, etc. Major updates usually incur an update fee to help cover additional engineering and documentation costs. For example, if you are a registered owner of 4.x you will be able to download and update to version 5.x for a small update fee.
If you purchase a license for Resource Builder and a major upgrade is released within one month of your purchase date, you are entitled to a free upgrade to the new major release.
