Directory Opus Upgrade w/ Double Disount - Expires 1-1-2015
« on: December 13, 2014, 07:40 PM »
Expires 1-1-2015 (Untested as I am already a DOpus v11 user)

Copy-and-pasted as found on the web:


GPSOFT are currently DOUBLING their normal upgrade discount, but you MUST upgrade before Jan 1st, 2015.

Discount code to use is HOLIDAY50

From GPSOFT:
---------------------------------------quote------------------------------
It's the Great GP Software Holiday Upgrade Sale!

From now until January 1st, 2015, you can upgrade to the latest version of Directory Opus 11 for double the normal upgrade discount - that's up to 70% off the regular price!

Use the coupon code HOLIDAY50 on the Directory Opus Upgrades page to upgrade now from just:

$26 AUD (approximately $23 USD) for Opus 10 single install, and
$31 AUD (approximately $27 USD) for Opus 9 single install.
----------------------------end quote----------------------------------------------------

And if that was not enough of a good deal, it gets better, as you can:
- ADD licenses at the same "HOLIDAY50" discount
- any EXTRAS you bought in the past carry over to the new version, "At No Extra Charge"

Redemption of an upgrade discount invalidates your previous Directory Opus licence.

Deal breaker for me.

Strange, I have v11 running on my main machine and my old v10, (that I upgraded to v11), running on another both say they are licensed and the v10 keeps telling me that it is the current v10 version and that I can upgrade to v11, (ie. it has internet access, still checks for updates, and does license verification).

All I can say is, the upgrade didn't invalidate my previous v10 license but it does stop me from trying to upgrade that v10 license again.

The License Manager shows that the main program license "Never expires":

I was holding off upgrading as it was too expensive but I went ahead with it after this further discount.

Thanks

Thanks for your info.

Same here -- to me, this offer made it worth upgrading.

I think that while the license file you have for v10 still will work, you're not supposed to use v10 one one machine and use v11 on another. The v11 upgrade 'replaces' the upgraded license from a EULA point of view.

Yes, this is standard for software upgrades -- it replaces an existing license; it does not provide an additional license to be used on an additional computer. To see the cost savings of an upgrade, compare the upgrade price to that of a new license.
