Grandfathered purchase?

If I purchase v.9x and v.10 comes out, how long is the period, if any, for a free upgrade to v.10?

If you purchase V9 Pro (with the lifetime upgrade) option via the following pricing page, there is no limitation time when you upgrade to V10:or 11 etc. You can upgrade then at anytime after its available. V10 will be out next year sometime.

You also get 1 year of VIP support as well with the purchase of any eM Client version.

Lastly all the latest release versions for Pc and Mac are updated on the Release history page

What I mean is if I were to purchase (not lifetime) on day 1 and a new version came out on day 7 or day 30 etc. would I get a free upgrade because it was so close to my purchase on day 1? Is there a period of time from original purchase that provides a free upgrade to a newer version.

You may need to email [email protected] for that specific grace period question.

Normally if you don’t purchase the V9 Pro with the lifetime upgrade initially, you won’t get the free V10 or 11 etc free upgrades later. You will only get all the V9 upgrades.

So if you don’t purchase eM Client initially with the lifetime upgrades, then at a later date “you can either pay to upgrade to each version separately” or “alternatively purchase the lifetime upgrade separately at anytime” which is better value as per the eM Client FAQ info and links below…

This is eM Clients FAQ page on updating.

WHAT IS EM CLIENT’S UPDATE MODEL?

By purchasing a regular eM Client Pro license, you get the latest officially released major version of eM Client, all the smaller updates related to that version, and all older versions.

If you decide to upgrade to a newer version of eM Client, you will need to renew your license.

If you purchase Pro license with Lifetime Upgrades, you will gain access to all present and future versions of eM Client. You can purchase Lifetime upgrades separately any time.

Each purchase includes a 1 year of Pro support access automatically, but you can also extend your Support access for another year.
