Purchase Upgrades

There are 2 kinds of purchasing licenses for SmartGit, the perpetual license and the subscription license. When purchasing perpetual licenses, you will get at 1, 2 or 3 years or “life-long” updates combined with 90 days, 1, 2 or 3 years support - depending on the option you choose. This means, you can use any version of SmartGit (if not having ordered the life-long option: that has been release up to 1, 2 or 3 years after the purchase date), including all belonging bugfix releases.

If this update period is expired, you still continue to use SmartGit, but it will be unsupported and you won’t be able to use newer versions of SmartGit. To renew the support and update period, you need to purchase upgrade licenses. Basically, upgrade licenses are the same as new perpetual SmartGit licenses, but for a discounted price.

The easiest way is to use Help|Register in SmartGit and click the Purchase Update button. Alternatively, you may open http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/purchase-update in your browser and upload your existing license file.

Additional Seats

If you want to add additional seats to your perpetual SmartGit license, you have following options:

• order the additional licenses independent of the existing ones - that way you will have different license files with different support and update periods - or
• also update your existing SmartGit licenses (their support and update period will restart) by uploading your license file at syntevo.com/smartgit/purchase-update and increasing the seat count to the overall required seat count.
