What qualifies for upgrade licenses?
Any BAPCo 2018 benchmark qualifies for the upgrade pricing. You may upgrade to a different license type. For example, if you have a small business 2018 and need a Corporation 25 license you may use the upgrade pricing.
If I buy a PRO license do I need to purchase a subscription each year?
Subscription renewal is optional. If you do not renew your subscription your license automatically reverts to BASIC and you lose all the benefits of a PRO license. You cannot renew your subscription once it has passed the grace period reverted to BASIC. A BASIC licence allows you to continue to use the last version of the software you downloaded for as long as it is supported by BAPCo.
Does the PRO subscription autorenew?
No. The registered end-user or the original purchaser will be sent notification to renew.
Can I just purchase upgrades from the basic edition?
Yes, with the Basic edition is eligible to purchase future releases of the software at the upgrade price.
Does the Basic license include software upgrades to later releases?
No, you will need to purchase new versions at the upgrade price.
