Furthermore, we offer 1 major version upgrade to all ChartDirector licensees free of charge. For example, if you have purchased ChartDirector Ver 4.x, you may upgrade to ChartDirector Ver 5.x free of charge, even if it is after the 1 year software subscription period.

If your license is covered by the free upgrade, you do not need to purchase anything to upgrade. Your existing license key will work with the ChartDirector versions that you can upgrade to. You may simply download the latest version from our download page. Please remember to read the release notes for upgrade considerations.

If you are not sure of the version or purchase date of your license, you may email your license key to info@advsofteng.net and enquire for the issue date and version. You may also just download ChartDirector to check if it accepts the key.

The "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" extends the software subscription period of the original license by 1 year, and increase the license version by 1.

For example, if you purchased ChartDirector Ver 3.x on May-1-2004, you are entitled up to ChartDirector Ver 4.x, and the software subscription expires on May-1-2005. A "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" allows you to use up to ChartDirector Ver 5.x, and extends the software subscription to May-1-2006.

Multiple units of "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" can be used together to increase the license by mulitple versions, and to extend the software subscription to multiple years. For example, if you purchased ChartDirector Ver 2.x, you are entited up to ChartDirector Ver 3.x. You may purchase 2 units of "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" to increase the version to 5.x.

Yes. Note that the software subscription extension is calculated based on the date that your previous software subscription expired, not on the purchase date of the "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription". For example, if your previous software subscription has expired on Mar-1-2004, a "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" will extend the software subscription to Mar-1-2005, no matter when you purchase the "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription".

If your software subscription expired long time ago, it is possible the subscription is still expired after purchasing a "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription". In this case, the "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" may still be useful because of the version upgrade it provides.

Yes. Note that your original ChartDirector license already includes 1 year of software subscription. If you need N years of software subscription, you may purchase (N - 1) units of "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription".

It is 25% of the price of a full license.

For example, for a "ChartDirector Developer License for All Platforms", the full price is USD 149. The price for the "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" for that type of license is therefore USD 149 x 0.25 = USD 37 (rounded to the nearest dollar).

When you purchase a "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription", we will deliver an "extension license key" to you by email. In addition, a paper license certificate and a paper receipt will be delivered by post. There is no other shipment. The software can always be downloaded from our download page.

By appending the "extension license key" to your original license key, the license key version will be increased by 1, and the license key date will be extended by 1 year.

Multiple extension license keys can be appended to your original license key to increase it by multiple versions, and to extend the license key date by multiple years.

Yes. An extension license key only extends the version and date of a full license key. An extension license key cannot work by itself. Please keep your existing license key.

The type of "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" must match the type of your existing license, otherwise the extension license key will not work with your existing license key. For example, if your existing license is a "ChartDirector Redistribute License for Windows/Linux/FreeBSD", you will need to the "ChartDirector Upgrade and Subscription" for "ChartDirector Redistribute License for Windows/Linux/FreeBSD".

If you are not sure what license type you have, it can be determined by the first few characters of the license key using the following table.

License Key Format	License Type
DEVP-0xxx-xxxx-xxxx	ChartDirector Developer License for Windows/Linux/FreeBSD
DIST-0xxx-xxxx-xxxx	ChartDirector Redistribute License for Windows/Linux/FreeBSD
DEVP-1xxx-xxxx-xxxx	ChartDirector Developer License for All Platforms
DIST-1xxx-xxxx-xxxx	ChartDirector Redistribute License for All Platforms

If your license was purchased before Aug 8, 2002, it was just called "ChartDirector Developer License" or "ChartDirector Redistribute License", without any platform name. They are equivalent to "ChartDirector Developer License for Windows/Linux/FreeBSD" and "ChartDirector Redistribute License for Windows/Linux/FreeBSD".

Similarly, the license types "ChartDirector Developer License for Solaris" and "ChartDirector Redistribute License for Solaris" were renamed and are equivalent to "ChartDirector Developer License for All Platforms" and "ChartDirector Redistribute License for All Platforms".
