GlobalSCAPE periodically releases both major version upgrades and minor updates or maintenance releases of its software. A major version upgrade is indicated with a change in the major version number, such as from 6.2 to 7.0. A minor update or maintenance release involves relatively minor changes, and is indicated with a change to the number to the right of the decimal place in the version number, for example 6.1 to 6.2 or 6.1.3 to 6.1.4.
GlobalSCAPE registration serial numbers are valid for all minor updates within the same major version. For example, a serial number for version 6.0 can also be used for version 6.1, 6.2 or with any other 6.x version update, however the same serial number will not function in version 7.0 or any other major version upgrade.
Eligible users that are covered by maintenance and support plan receive all major upgrades and minor updates that are publicly released during the term of their agreement at no additional charge. Free upgrades must be requested or obtained while the maintenance and support plan remains in force. If the maintenance and support plan expires and is not renewed, free upgrades cease to be available even if the relevant upgrade was publicly released during the time that the expired maintenance and support plan was effective.
If GlobalSCAPE offers a major version upgrade during the term of your maintenance and support plan, you will be emailed with information about how to obtain the upgrade. You will not receive the upgrade notification email if you have unsubscribed from the GlobalSCAPE mailing list.
