Additional Information

If you are not able to see the product you are looking for in the list of available upgrades, it could be due to at least one or more of the following reasons:

  1. Your upgrade protection has expired.
    Solution: renew your upgrade protection/maintenance.

  2. No upgrade protection or maintenance was purchased.
    Solution: purchase the latest version of the product along with upgrade protection so as to be ready for the next release.

  3. You have multiple contract numbers and the upgrade protection or maintenance that you purchased is under a different contract.
    Solution: Try logging in under your different contract number.
