What are the costs of an upgrade ?

In general a update (bugfixes, indicated only by an increased build number) is offered to our customers at no costs (it can be downloaded from the website and used with the existing license key).

 

An upgrade offers new functionality (new functionality, leads to a new major/minor version number depending on the level of new functionality). An upgrade requires a new license key. This is offered to existing customers at reduced costs, which depend on the customer's current version. The upgrade costs are based on the cummulative upgrade steps (for example: the costs of upgrading from SAM 5.1 directly to SAM 6.1 are identical to the sum of upgrade steps SAM 5.1=>SAM6.0=>SAM6.1).

 

When upgrading from a single-user license to the multi-user license (of the same release) only the difference in purchase price is charged.
