Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I get help if I am not on support?
    Assistance is available as paid professional services if you are not on support, or you can re-instate your support and maintenance agreement. In the event we are extraordinarily busy, support and maintenance agreement holders receive first priority for paid services. We recommend that you reinstate support, as that will give you priority access to paid professional services. Contact us to discuss your options.
  • If i do not renew support, will my software stop working?

    For perpetual licenses, the software will NOT stop the software from working just because support is expired. 

    For subscription licenses, the software WILL STOP WORKING at the end of your subscription period if not renewed.

    However, if you are not on the most current product version, we cannot guarantee that the software will work with newer Windows Versions, Windows Updates, or OPC Server versions.

    If the software stops working because you are on an older version after something else in the system changes, you will need to reinstate support to upgrade to the latest version to receive assistance. 

  • My support has lapsed, can I reinstate it.
    Yes, you can re-instate your support and maintenance agreement. The cost varies based on how long your software has been off support. 
    Please contact us for a quotation on reinstatement for your specific licenses
  • Can I cancel my support & maintenance agreement?
    Support & Maintenance Agreements are non-refundable. If you no longer wish to continue support and maintenance for your license, simply choose not to renew at the end of your current term. If you do not have support, we will not be able to provide any assistance including license re-instatement for failed systems, without reinstatement of support or payment of service fees.
  • Will I be notified before my subscription or support agreement expires?
    Yes! We typically send out renewal reminder notifications around 60 - 90 days prior to the expiration of your current agreement.

    Important: Please ensure that we have a valid email address for the person(s) that handle support renewals for your licenses, so that they receive the notifications, and if the contacts change, please update us.
  • Can I put all my Software Toolbox products on a common renewal date?
    Yes you can! We encourage you to put all product licenses purchased from Software Toolbox onto a common agreement.

    If you purchased your license(s) through one of our channel partners, please work with them to choose your co-term renewal date and they will contact us.

    If you purchased your licenses directly from Software Toolbox, please contact us to obtain a quote. Be sure to include your requested co-term renewal date.
