Development and enhancement of applications
In response to the evolving system needs of clients, resources are dedicated to ongoing software development and enhancements to modules. The support agreement provides client schools with software feature upgrades. Major releases are typically twice per year. You must maintain licenses of the current version of other associated software such as Windows Server, Microsoft SQL Server and Crystal Reports. If new versions of this software, particularly SQL Server and Crystal Reports become available, you must upgrade to these new versions as advised. We will notify you as soon as these versions are announced and released, to enable you to plan their implementation.
Comprehensive release notes are provided with upgrades.
