Dantares Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I've done a little looking, so please excuse me if this has already been answered elsewhere... I recently got a one month license to try the game out and like it. If I purchase the full license now, will that license also cover the upcoming 4.0 update, or will that require a separate purchase? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 4, 2016 Members Share Posted July 4, 2016 Depends on what you call the "full license". If you mean version 3.0 with a CodeMeter stick at its currently discounted price, the answer is "No". You would need to purchase a $40.- license upgrade later; buying version 4.0 after its release will however cost $125.- ... so it amounts to the same price. If you mean a one-year or other time-based license, the answer is "Yes". You may change to the new version at any time while the license is still valid. Time-based licenses are priced to cover the effort on our end to constantly maintain and improve Steel Beasts whereas for permanent licenses the only way to get a compensation for permanent development effort is to sell upgrades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pii Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I'm completely confused by this: " Typically you have one license of an older version of SB Pro. For most customers the upgrade is $40.- ... so, order that. UNLESS your ONLY SB Pro PE license is older than version 2.5. For customers who never upgraded before the web shop offers an "old version upgrade" at $80.- " I have a code meter stick that I use to run SB PE v2.6 is this the same as a license version greater than 2.5 or is SB Pro PE license version something else? Where can I find the version number of my license? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt DeFault Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 (edited) You should be good to go for the $40 upgrade. ...I think. The license number can be found in the CodeMeter console or the web app. It's usually similar to the SB version number, but not always exactly the same. IIRC, 2.6 required a new license, so yes, you would have a 2.6 license which is greater than 2.5.

Members Ssnake Posted August 24, 2016 Members Share Posted August 24, 2016 Yes. SB Pro PE 2.6 is newer than version 2.5. So you qualify for the regular upgrade. Like anyone with an SB Pro PE 3.0 license, or a version 2.5 license. The WebAdmin will show which licenses (by eSim Games) are stored on your CodeMeter stick. If no version number is listed, or if it says version 2.4, the "old version upgrade" option must be chosen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I'd have to do the 80.00 since I never did 3.0 so nice surprise. thanks everyone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacha Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Just to confirm: upgrade of eligible secondary license sets me back $25 and is only available from the eSim store as purchase of regular secondary license - correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 27, 2016 Members Share Posted November 27, 2016 Yes... or, in other words, secondary licenses cannot be upgraded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so as that is what I did with my eight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacha Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hehehehe .... appreciate responses! Given Gibsonm's one I'm not sure now if this can be considered "luck" but I'm lighter only by mere 25 green notes... and my mates are happy, so it's worth it :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
