Excelsior JET Support Policy
Support Contract Expiration And Renewal
Starting from version 4.5, Excelsior JET comes with a bundled Support Contract, entitling you to receive technical support and product upgrades for one year. Upon Support Contract expiration, you will only have access to the free services.
Support contract renewals commence from the expiration of the previous support period, regardless of when the renewal is purchased. If you miss the renewal date by more than one year, you have to pay for the upgrade to the latest version.
Product End Of Life
A Support Contract for a particular version of Excelsior JET is valid until Product End Of Life which occurs two years after the initial ship date for that version. After that you have to switch to a more recent version to continue receiving Excelsior JET support services under the Contract.
Information regarding initial ship dates can be found at the press center.
If you elect to use a version of Excelsior JET after its End Of Life, you may still receive the support services on a consultancy basis at Excelsior's sole discretion.
