OPC Data Logger Support & Maintenance
OPC Data Logger interoperates with a wide range of systems, using a variety of standards and technologies. As changes happen in those standards and technologies, and Windows operating systems are updated, you want your systems to remain resilient to change.
All new OPC Data Logger perpetual license purchases include 1 year of support & maintenance to help you achieve that goal. Support & Maintenance can be renewed on an annual basis and can be co-termed with other product licenses you have purchased from Software Toolbox.
If you choose subscription licensing, then support & maintenance is included in the annual subscription renewal.

- Free updates to the latest version of whatever edition of OPC Data Logger you have purchased
- Support for latest Windows Versions
- Support for latest OPC Specification Updates and other technology updates
- Unlimited email support and up to 4 hours of phone support per month during our normal business hours.
- Priority response from support staff with the goal of responses within 2 hours during our normal business hours.

- Application troubleshooting advice
- Re-registration and/or transfer of your license to a new computer or re-installation due to hardware failure

If I do not renew support, will my software stop working?
The product licensing will NOT stop OPC Data Logger from working just because support is expired.
However, if you are not on the most current version, we cannot guarantee that the product will work with newer Windows Versions, Windows Updates, if you are not on the most current version of the product.
Keeping an active support and maintenance agreement helps you ensure compatibility with operating systems and compilers. Additionally, active support and maintenance provides access to our support team if/when any issues require assistance. -
My support has lapsed, can I re-instate it?Yes, you can re-instate your support and maintenance agreement. The cost is typically approximately 50% of the cost of a new license.
Please contact us for a quotation on reinstatement for your specific licenses.
-
Can I cancel my support and maintenance agreement?Support & Maintenance Agreements are non-refundable. If you no longer wish to continue support and maintenance for your product license, simply choose not to renew at the end of your current term.
-
Can I put all my Software Toolbox products on a common renewal date?Yes you can, and we encourage you to put all product licenses purchased from Software Toolbox onto a common agreement.
