  • What is the difference between update and upgrade? Open or Close
    An update replaces your currently installed product with the latest version of the product. For instance, if you're running an older version of WinPC-NC Light, an update would involve downloading and installing the (then) current version of WinPC-NC Light. Updates are free.
     
    An upgrade replaces your currently installed product with a product that offers increased functionality. For instance, if you're running WinPC-NC Light, and upgrade would replace WinPC-NC Light with WinPC-NC USB. Upgrades involve paying a fee, invalidating the license of the older product, and switching to the license of the newer product.

    Both updates and upgrades require license registration.
