Basic Technical Support Package. Entitles our customers to normal business hours telephone support at Pen-Link, Ltd.’s published number and/or assistance via e-mail.

Standard Maintenance and Support. Standard Maintenance is a Maintenance option that includes Software Updates, Software Upgrades, and Basic Technical Support as defined herein.

Premium Maintenance and Support. Premium Maintenance is a Maintenance option that includes Software Updates, Software Upgrades, and Premium Technical Support as defined herein.

Software Update. A Software Update is an enhancement including additions, changes, and bug fixes to Pen-Link Software that is already in the applicable commercial market. Software Updates occur within the same major version number of an existing software product. For example, replacing Pen-Link v8.1.29.0 with Pen-Link v8.1.30.0 would constitute a Software Update. Such an update is often referred to as a New Build of the Pen-Link Software.

Software Upgrade. A Software Upgrade is the replacement of an older major version of an existing Pen-Link Software product or products, with a newer major version of a Pen-Link Software product or products, to the extent required to maintain the same operational functionality that was supported by the Pen-Link Software prior to the upgrade. For example, upgrading from Pen-Link Version 7 to Pen-Link Version 8 (where 8 is the newer major version) would constitute a Software Upgrade, so long as the installation of the newer version of the PenLink Software supported at least the same operational functionality that the Customer had under Pen-Link version 7. Upgrades do not apply to new software products that Pen-Link, Ltd. may release to the commercial market from time to time in the future.

Basic Technical Support (also “Basic Support”). Basic Technical Support is a Support option that includes telephone-based Technical Support for the Pen-Link Software licensed by the Customer. Basic Technical Support also includes assistance via email or other automated processes such that Pen-Link, Ltd. may deem fit to offer.
