Dongle Exchange

Version 3 Update Subscription
SpecView Version3 (full releases, not the Beta test pre-releases) will set the Free Updates until date to 1 or 2 years from the date it is first run. This is because SpecView Version 3 includes a free-update-subscription for 1 year for dongles purchased in 2008/2009/2010, or 2 years for dongles purchased in 2011/2012/2013.
When the update-subscription expires the software will continue to work, but it will not be possible to update the software to a newer version without purchasing an update renewal from a SpecView representative.
Please contact your SpecView representative for prices.
