Upgrade Pricing via Annual Upgrade Protection (AUP)

MailEnable's Annual Upgrade Protection (AUP) allows registered users to upgrade to any version of their registered product that is released during their coverage period.

Product	Professional Renewal	Enterprise Renewal	Enterprise Premium Renewal
AUP Renewal	$135 USD	$270 USD	$370 USD

* The AUP prices are the annual renewal cost for upgrade protection (which was introduced for Version 4). Those who have paid the renewal fee can access the product at no additional cost.

AUP is only available for version 4 and later of MailEnable. Those who purchased MailEnable version 4 (or later versions) receive 12 month upgrade protection. When the upgrade protection window lapses an upgrade protection renewal notice will be sent to the registered email address. You will then have the option to renew your upgrade protection or to let the protection lapse.

How to Upgrade

If you are upgrading your software, consider that MailEnable's normal office hours (9am - 5pm) are in GMT+10 and that any support queries arising from the upgrade will be resolved more responsively within these normal office hours.

Steps:

1. Download the version of MailEnable you wish to upgrade to, from the Download page.
2. Install this version of MailEnable. See this article for information on how to install upgrades.
3. Purchase an Upgrade License via Online Services. Go to "Upgrade Licenses", and click the "Upgrade" button next to the license you wish to upgrade.

Upgrade FAQ

• If I upgrade, will the current mail accounts be affected?
• No - in fact the configuration and message store are not affected when the upgrade occurs. For a Professional to Enterprise upgrade, the format of the settings/etc. are identical to the Professional release - it is just that Enterprise has additional features. The same applies to a Professional 1.x /2.x /3.x - Professional 4 upgrade and the Enterprise 1.x /2.x /3.x - Enterprise 4 upgrade.
  
  To upgrade you can simply install over the existing installation accepting the default values when running through the setup wizard. i.e. just click the Next button and leave everything as the default. This process is outlined in detail in Knowledge Base Article ME020040.
• Once I install MailEnable version 5 over my existing 1.x/2.x/3.x/4.x, will all features be enabled?
• Yes - When you install Version 5 over a registered version 1.x, 2.x, 3.x or 4.x, the software will re-enter an evaluation state of the normal 90 day evaluation period. During this period, you can explore the new features (all features are enabled under evaluation). If you are running Version 1.x/2.x/3.x/4.x in evaluation, the trial period is not extended.
  
  Should you wish to then license the new version, you can do so under the "Upgrade licenses" section of your Online Services account or by registering the product.
• Q. Will there be a downtime while I upgrade?
• The install process usually takes less than 5 minutes to install - but the server will most likely need to be rebooted (depending on whether there are any system files that cannot be replaced by the MailEnable installation).
• If I install Version 5 and after evaluating it, decide not to purchase, can I downgrade back to the previously installed version?
• Yes, you can downgrade from Version 5 Enterprise or Professional Edition by following the instructions detailed in this Knowledge Base article ME020375.
• Once I have the software installed, how can I obtain an updated license key for Version 5?
• 1. You will need to login to Online Services using your account details emailed to you when you purchased MailEnable. Select the "Upgrades" menu item, which will list your current license keys. Beside the license key you will see a button named "Upgrade".
  2. Click the upgrade button and follow the prompts to upgrade your current license key.
  3. Once you have upgraded your license key, you can then use the Registration Wizard (under the MailEnable program group) to enter the updated key.
