What’s the differences between Software Update and Software Upgrade?

  • An update refers to a small, incremental change or improvement made to the current version of software. It primary aims to provide bug fixes, minor feature enhancements, or performance improvements.
  • A software upgrade involves a more substantial change to the software, usually resulting in a new version or edition. These changes/upgrades usually require a considerable investment of time and creativity from our development team.
    As a result, an “Upgrade version” requires an additional cost and typically applies to only the two previous versions. For details about each product's upgrade policy, please refer to the purchase plan described on our online store.
