Upgrade via Annual Upgrade Protection (AUP)

All MailEnable mail server products since version 4 come with a 12 months complimentary Annual Upgrade Protection (AUP) period. Users can upgrade their registered products to any new versions released during their AUP coverage period, at no additional cost.

When the complimentary AUP period expires, users have the option to renew and extend their AUP coverage for an additional 12 months. See below for AUP renewal pricing.

	Professional Renewal	Enterprise Renewal	Enterprise Premium Renewal
AUP Renewal	$145 USD	$270 USD	$370 USD

A renewal notice will be sent to the user's registered email address, one month before the AUP period expires.



To find out how much AUP coverage period you have on your registered MailEnable products, please log on to Online Services. If you are eligible for a free upgrade, it will be made available under your account.

FAQ's

• Upgrade FAQ

  • If I upgrade, will the current mail accounts be affected?
  • No - in fact the configuration and message store are not affected when the upgrade occurs. For a Professional to Enterprise upgrade, the format of the settings/etc. are identical to the Professional release - it is just that Enterprise has additional features. The same applies to a Professional 1.x /2.x /3.x - Professional 4 upgrade and the Enterprise 1.x /2.x /3.x - Enterprise 4 upgrade.
    
    To upgrade you can simply install over the existing installation accepting the default values when running through the setup wizard. i.e. just click the Next button and leave everything as the default. This process is outlined in detail in Knowledge Base Article ME020040.
  • Once I install MailEnable version 10 over my existing 1.x-9.x, will all features be enabled?
  • Yes - When you install Version 10 over a registered earlier version (1.x, 2.x, etc.), the software will re-enter an evaluation state of the normal 60 day evaluation period. During this period, you can explore the new features (all features are enabled under evaluation). If you are running an earlier version in evaluation, the trial period is not extended.
    
    Should you wish to then license the new version, you can do so under the "Upgrade licenses" section of your Online Services account or by registering the product.
  • Will there be a downtime while I upgrade?
  • The install process usually takes less than 5 minutes to install - but the server may need to be rebooted (depending on whether there are any system files that cannot be replaced by the MailEnable installation).
  • If I install Version 10 and after evaluating it, decide not to purchase, can I downgrade back to the previously installed version?
  • Yes, you can downgrade from Version 10 Enterprise or Professional Edition by following the instructions detailed in this Knowledge Base article ME020375.
  • Once I have the software installed, how can I obtain an updated license key for Version 10?
  • 1. You will need to login to Online Services using your account details emailed to you when you purchased MailEnable. Select the "Upgrades" menu item, which will list your current license keys. Beside the license key you will see a button named "Upgrade".
    2. Click the upgrade button and follow the prompts to upgrade your current license key.
    3. Once you have upgraded your license key, you can then use the Registration Wizard (under the MailEnable program group) to enter the updated key.
