Every new Cerberus DMS installation includes free 12 month Software Upgrade

Annual Subscriptions are renewed for 12 months at a time by purchasing the required
number of SUR Units (CCA-1-SUR-UNIT) based on the “Site Value” for the site.
Renew during the active subscription period to continue receiving the latest version
of software and maintain your Software Upgrade Service subscription.
After the expiration of the Software Upgrade Service Subscription, the subscription
is inactive and upgrades can only be obtained by activating the sites subscription.
One-time Upgrade
• Remain on current version and upgrade at your convenience
• Continuously receive high level of maintenance and support of existing
software version
• Best performance
• IT security updates
• Upgrade your software and receive support of the latest version of
operating system
Every new Cerberus DMS installation includes free 12 month Software Upgrade
Service subscription, which entitles the site to optionally install any new version
within the first 12 months after the software is activated.
A Cerberus DMS with an inactive Software Upgrade Service subscription, where the
subscription period has expired, can purchase a One-time Upgrade.
A one-time upgrade brings the inactive Software Upgrade Service subscription current
and starts a new 12 months Software Upgrade Service subscription by purchasing the
required number of SUS Units (CCA-1-SUS-UNIT) based on the “Site Value” for the site.
The site is then entitled to receive the latest version of software.
Example: Site with active subscription for Software Upgrade Service
A site with an active Software Upgrade Service subscription will automatically get all new
software releases without any additional charge.
Example: Site with inactive subscription for Software Upgrade Service
The Software Upgrade Service subscription was not renewed for two or more years from
the time the licenses were initially activated.
With the purchase of the required number of SUS units (CCA-1-SUS-UNIT), the sites
Software Upgrade Services subscription is reactivated and the latest versions become
available for the site.
