My Upgrade + Support Plan for Softraid 7 Pro expires on 08/21/23.

I bought an OWC Mercury Pro U.2 Dual enclosure on 12/15/22 (order P6536789). Does it extend my Upgrade + Support Plan until 12/15/23 ?

Since you upgraded to Pro, its not simple. You can use either license, but the XT license won't support the non OWc enclsoure when that support ends.

We are working to make it as easy as possible. Its always going to be a bit complex when users have multiple licenses/enclosures bought at different times, but we want to make this easy as we can.

Hello, I received a notification my Update and Support Plan will expire 8/31/23. I visited the store and purchased the first year support under order: #351534, however my softraid still shows expiring on 8/31/23 when the order details says 7/5/24.  Do I need to restart or do anything for that to update to the new date? Thanks

Deactivate/Activate your license, which will force SoftRAID to "phone home", and it will fix this.

@softraid-support Hello, I tried this and the menu still shows the support plan ending on August 1 2023.. Do I need to do additional steps?

@rjwinks 

That should be enough. Let me investigate. Did you enter your license number when you renewed? Something seems to have gone "wrong".

@softraid-support Hmm, I don't recall. I posted my order # in my previous comment.

When I remember to, I try to remove personal details from posts.
I looked up your order and noticed it is a "free" upgrade, as part of your support plan. All upgrades are free under an active plan. This is a zero cost upgrade, so does not update the expiration date of support.

A free upgrade does not reset the clock. Your support plan still expires in August. Sorry for confusion. I notice the blurb on the invoices is not reflective of this, so it is in the process of being clarified.

Wait, so even if I spend $250 on a Pro license, my "support plan" will expire and I won't get updates within the same major version? Does the SoftRAID app stop working, too?

If you upgrade to Pro, you get a year of support and upgrades. so yes it includes upgrades.

At the end of a year, your application does not stop working, however you ability to get additional free upgrades stops.

Does the term "upgrade" only refer to bug fixes (i.e., updates within a major version), or does it also cross into major versions, if there happens to be one within that year?

Yes everything is included. Lets say you buy a SoftRAID support plan today. You will get the Sonoma upgrade, you will get the next major upgrade, likely in the spring, etc.
