Question about software upgrading

[CoCo]

Dear sir:
I had just brought Measurement Studio full Development System for Windows 2000/NT/9x,Ver.6.0. I want to know if I can upgrade this software online. What the time limited on this product free upgrading?
Thank you very much!
Best wishes!
yours sincerely

You can upgrade online at (http://www.ni.com/upgrade). 6.0 is the current version so there is not a currently available upgrade. As for the free upgrade timeframe, there isn't a timeframe. We have free patch upgrades and major upgrades that are not free (currently $395). Free upgrade version would be like 6.0.0 to 6.0.1 or 6.0.2. Major upgrades would be like from 6.0 to 6.1 or 6.0 to 7.0, etc.

Hope that answers your question,

Are there any patch upgrades for 6.0? Are there any planned for the near future?

thanks,

No, there are no current patches and we don't have one scheduled since we have had very few reported issues.
