Software products are updated for life for free! The term Life,
refers to the life cycle
of the product, not the life of the person who purchased it. The term Life
Cycle, refers to the major version number of a product.
For example, the previous version of Submission was 6.1.49.
The three components of the version number are
as follows: <Major Version Number>.<Minor
Version Number>.<Hot
Fix Number>. The
software is updated and supported until the major version number is updated. We
post minor version updates on our website and you may download and use them for
free during a product's life cycle. When the major version number goes up, the
previous version's life cycle is over. You may continue to use the software for
as long as you wish, but the software will no longer have software updates posted
on our website. Normally,
if you purchased a product less than 30 days to a major version release, we will
update your product for free. For Submission v7.0, this means that
if you ordered the Submission 2000 v6.x in January 2003, you qualify for
the upgrade for free. To get a free upgrade, please send an email, with you client
ID to support@apexpacific.com. The
price for new version 7.0 has been increased After
3 years re-development and the investment of hundreds of man hours, the all new
version 7.0 of Submission has been released. We have received a great
deal of feedback requests from our customers and we listened and incorporated
them into the product. Our price for Submission has not changed in over
2 years. With all the new features and hundreds of improvements, the price for
the new version has been increased to cover the research and development cost
as well as the free technical support we offer. You may see the new prices
for the full version by viewing the price list.
Although the the prices have increased quite a bit, they are in line with the
pricing structure of similar products available on the market that do not even
offer the feature we do. More
than a 50% discount for upgrade to the new version for existing clients We
offer our existing clients a large discount to upgrade to the new version of our
products. Along with the new price, comes many more
features. Here is the upgrade plan for all other customers:

Upgrade price may increase later without any further notice. Is
the upgrade price too steep? Absolutely
not. If you compare the upgrade price with the old product price, you may feel
that the upgrade price is too steep. If you compare your upgrade price with the
new product price, you will see that you are receiving more than a 50% discount
for the upgrade to the new version. The total price you are paying for the upgrade
basically the different between the new price and the old prices.
Here is a complete example:
The new price for Professional Edition(Equivelant
to the Standard Edition of v6.x) is $149.95.
If you upgrade from Standard v6.x to Professional v7.0, you pay only $69.95.
