Hello,
On the license wiki there is a line, "
When you purchase CCS v4 it comes with 12 months of subscription. This means that if CCSv5 comes out within 12 months of you purchasing CCS v4 then you would automatically receive the upgrade. After 12 months you may renew your subscription for a fee. The free versions of CCS v4 do not come with subscription.
Minor updates, 4.x releases, do not require subscription."
How is this handled with CCSv5.1 or greater? I was just asked whether I need to renew my license or not. I can't find enough information to decide...
Thanks,
brandy
Hi Brandy,
please let us know if the following helps: If you are looking to buy a license, I would simply buy a v5 license as this will work with both v4 and v5. If you are a v4 user: - you do not need to buy another license if you have one. However, if you wish to move to v5, you will either need an active subscription or to purchase a new license. If you are a v5 user: - you may simply decide whether or not to renew your subscription. So bascially the following applies. A subscription is not necessary to maintain licensed status, however is necessary to recieve major updates (eg v4 to v5, v5 to coming v6). V5 will be handled the same.
Best Regards,

So I will need a new license to get v6. When does that come out? Perhaps it does not even fall under this years budget.
Also, if I were to buy an extra license now - could I save it until v6 came out or would I be buying a v5 license?
Hi Brandy,
you can't currently purchase a v6 license. If you did purchase a v5 one it will work with both v4 and v5. It comes with the first year of subscription so you should be fine to update to v6 when it is released.
Or you could wait.
Best Regards,
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Can you give me an approximate date for v6? like Q1 2014 or Q4 etc?
Thanks,
