Updates and Patches

From time to time software patches or service packs will be made available via the VSNi website. These will include an increment to the version code, updating it to the month and year in which the update is formed. Thus, users who maintain support for the software will have continual access to updates.

Minimum version codes will be indicated on the download pages and it is the responsibility of the user to ensure they are entitled to the update before installing. If their license key does not permit use of the update they will be unable to run the software and will have to reinstall an earlier version.
