You can now upgrade from any 7.0.3 or later version without having to upgrade to Gold R10 or later.

Thinking about upgrading to the newest version? Even if your subscription has lapsed, we still encourage late renewals to keep your perpetual unlimited license active. Some customers may prefer our new subscription license model which still gives you all the same features with plans starting as low as $295 per year.
