Software Maintenance Service

For Right PDF Perpetual License only

The Software Maintenance Services (SMS) provides an economical way to receive product upgrades and get technical support. It does not only cover all updates, upgrades and technical support during the timeframe selected (starting from the date of purchase), but is also a cost-effective way to upgrade product instead of buying a new license. You may keep your software up-to-date in subsequent years by renewing your SMS subscription.

Definition on Update and Upgrade ZEON’s definition of "upgrade" means a rise in the major version number, e.g. v6.5 to v7.0, whereas "update" means a rise in the minor version number, e.g. v7.1 to v7.5. In normal circumstances, an upgrade denotes considerable improvements in UI, performance, and functionality, whereas the purpose of an update is to provide bug fixes.
Upgrade and Support within SMS Coverage Perpetual license does not have an expiration date. However, free upgrade can only be obtained during the valid SMS period and user may go to Right PDF website and download new version. Priority technical support is also given to the subscribers.
