Upgrade Information:
New to Submission

to your hard drive.. This gives you the added comfort of
seeing the actual page returned by the engine during submission
if you desire.

database is separated by category, allowing you to only
install and update categories you desire. This feature has

Why should I upgrade?
Most types of software only change in terms of new features.
If the features a version has satisfies you, you may not see
any need in upgrading. AddWeb, on the other hand, is a dynamic
software application. The effectiveness of the software is
directly related to the nature of external forces (search
engines, for example). This means that if the software is
left unchanged, it will naturally lose its effectiveness over
time because so much changes on the internet. A good example
of this is Virus Scanners. As new viruses are discovered,
virus scanning software must be enhanced to accommodate new
kinds of threats. After a few years, the viruses are more
intelligent than the older virus scanners. The same holds
true for AddWeb. As search engines explore new technology,
and things change on the Internet, AddWeb must be enhanced.
The older versions become obsolete very quickly. In fact,
most of the changes that happen from one version to the next
are 'under the hood' changes that you won't notice. Our submission
engine gets more and more intelligent, as do the supporting
features.
When we release a new major version of the software, the
older version soon goes into 'Phase
Out' status. That is, we prepare to make a final build
of that version. This is done because we cannot maintain multiple
code bases for older versions of the product. It simply gets
harder and harder to work around older technology. When a
version is phased
out, we no longer maintain the integrity of the submission
engine, the ranking engine, and other supporting features.
In other words, that version will work for as long as things
don't change. This is a necessary process in the evolution
of this type of software.
In addition to new features and a better engine, an upgrade
renews your database update subscription for a full year.
Depending on when you purchased AddWeb, your database update
subscription may be close to expiry.
Finally, our technical support offerings change when a product
enters the phase
out stage of life.
What if I don't upgrade?
This depends on the version you currently have licensed.
If you have a valid license for version 5,
the following changes will take place:
- No new features will be added to version 5, however, any
bugs discovered will be addressed until a final build is
released.
- Engine database updates will be provided on a regular
schedule until the phase
out period begins, at which time they will be less frequent
until the product
end of life occurs. *Engine database updates will
be provided as long as your update subscription is current.
- All technical support channels will remain active until
the phase out
period begins. After phase
out, only online technical support channels will be
available. When a product reaches end
of life, technical support is no longer available.
If you have a valid license for version 4,
the following changes will take place:
- On January 1st 2003, version 4 reached its end
of life. Version 4 is no longer a supported product, and
it will no longer be on our database update schedule. This means that as search engine data changes, AdDWeb 4 will not be updated to accomodate them.
If you have a valid license for version 3, 2 or 1:
- These versions are all past their end of life. They are
no longer supported, and are no longer on our database update
schedule.
