Software Updates and Upgrades
Windows Software Updates
All Windows software purchases include free maintenance releases and service packs for the life of that version (about 3-5 years). Any maintenance release for the software version that was initially purchased can be downloaded for free online or through the software. Maintenance releases generally include fixes and minor feature additions.
Updates may be purchased at an approximate 50% discount off the current retail price if you are within 1 version of the current version. Updates are always optional, and will never be required to continue using DaySmart Pet software. Updates include new software features, any fixes, and support for the latest operating systems.
With a DaySmart Pet for Windows Subscription plan, you will receive unlimited updates to the software for no additional cost, which can be downloaded from the website, for as long as that version is supported.
Cloud Software Updates
Cloud software subscriptions include all updates to the DaySmart Software cloud website and mobile applications. DaySmart’s cloud versions are automatically kept up to date, without any manual updates needed.
Windows Software Upgrades
If you are using the latest version of DaySmart Pet, you have the option to upgrade to a higher edition. All you have to do is pay the difference between the two editions. See our upgrades page for our latest version.
