Upgrade vs. Update

Problem

What is the difference between updating and upgrading the Courseware?

Solution

Upgrade vs. Update Almost every version of our software has free updates than can be downloaded from our website. These updates are not full versions of the software, but are applied over software which is already installed on your system. Updates may add additional features, but do contain some fixes to specific issues. If you are having trouble getting our software to function as you think it should, updating to the most current revision may solve the issue. Upgrading your software would be moving from a lower version to a higher version. For Example, moving from a previous semester's CD 4 to version 5. Within each version, you can update to a higher revision (for example 5.0, 5.02, 5.1) to add additional support. Upgrading your software is how to add additional features. This can only be done by purchasing the newer version. There are no downloadable upgrades.
