1. General description
Trawers is in on-going development. The new software releases with extensions,
changes and improvements are available on our ftp server. We also publish
a history of changes.
2. Release cycle
Due to the on-going development of the software, update to a non-current
release is not an option, e.g., it is not possible to update to version TR 5.1
when version 5.3 is already in distribution.
The development of Trawers is marked by its subsequent releases. Each release
is tagged with its issue date, e.g. release of 20xx.04.14.
Changes in subsequent releases are described in the history of changes.
A new release appears approximately every two weeks.
3. On-going updates, not like Service Pack
The update system of Trawers is different from e.g. Microsoft Windows software
or Office suite, sold at a chosen version with no upgrading required, with
previous releases receiving Service Pack updates for a limited time.
Trawers is developed and updated in a constant manner. New releases
incorporate new functions and fix any issues reported since the previous
release.
At any time, there is only one release which is developed and maintained,
and that is the latest release.
In order to have access to new features and improvements, users need to update
the program regularly. Updates are free of charge for the first 12 months
from the original purchase of license. A subscription can be purchased for
the following years.
4. Service and consultations for the latest release only
When providing our consultations and service, we assume that the user is
running the current release. We expect each service request to provide
a release date, and will not be able to provide assistance with very old
releases. Sometimes our Partners can help in maintenance of older versions.
As a condition for providing consultations and service, we require that
the reported issues be verified on the latest release of the software.
We recommend to download each new release as it comes out and to perform
regular updates.
Due to our years of experience, strict control procedures and the number
of users who rely on our software, the risk of malfunction is minimal.
However, malfunction may still appear and therefore we recommend testing
the key functions of the software after updating, possibly on a copy of your
own data or on the sample data provided with the demo.
5. Remote updates
The software can be updated automatically online. Currently most of our
Partners update their dependent systems remotely.
