RAW Developer Product Upgrade Policy - Version 1.0 We hope you find this upgrade policy both fair and easy to understand. If you have any questions or feedback regarding this policy please contact us at All RAW Developer license purchases entitle you to a minimum of 15 months of free updates from the date of purchase. During this time period you will be able to download and upgrade to any version of RAW Developer released regardless of its version designation. After the 15 month period expires, "minor" or "maintenance" updates to the current "major" version available at that time will continue to be free, but use of the next "major" release and subsequent "minor" updates will require a paid upgrade. We do our best to fix all known bugs or issues with the current release and release any necessary "maintenance" releases prior to releasing a new "major" update, however we cannot guarantee that every potential issue will be resolved prior to making a new "major" release available. You are never required to upgrade to the latest version of RAW Developer. The choice to upgrade or not is always up to you. If you choose to upgrade to a newer version you may at any time choose to return to using a previous version. When your free upgrade period expires you may continue using any version of RAW Developer for which your license is valid for as long as you like. Customers who have previously purchased licenses to RAW Developer will be entitled to a discount off the full product price for paid upgrades, generally between 20-50% off the full sales price at that time. The exact discount given may vary with each new "major" version release. This upgrade policy is subject to change at any time, however you are always entitled to the upgrade policy in place at the time of your purchase or any later revision of the policy. Definitions: "Minor" or "maintenance" updates will be designated by version number changes such as 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, etc and typically include fixes to reported problems (bugs) with the current release or minor improvements to the software. Support for new camera models is technically classified as a new "feature" but in many cases new camera support will make it into "minor" releases. "Major" updates will be designated by version number changes such as 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, etc. and include new feature additions and/or significant changes to the functionality of the software. Often several feature additions will make it into a "major" release, but there may be instances where only a single new feature will result in a "major" version release. As far as the upgrade policy is concerned there is no difference between say a 1.5 to 1.6 update versus a 1.5 to a 2.0 update. There may be cases where "major" version numbers are skipped to signify a more significant update.
