What is the difference between an Update and an Upgrade?

0

An update is basically a software patch that you pay for. An upgrade takes you from one version to another such as from Windows 95 to Windows 98. Going from Windows 98 to Windows SE (second edition) would require an update.

• An ‘Update’ includes changes (fixes and enhancements) to the Libronix DLS software engine and/or new versions of your currently-owned addin modules and resources, etc. An ‘Update’ can be downloaded at no charge using either of the two methods above. • An ‘Upgrade’ includes new books, addins, and features that you do not currently own. You can ‘upgrade’ to a larger collection or to a newer version of your current collection. For instance, if you own a ‘Scholar’s Library (ND)’, you could upgrade to a ‘Scholar’s Library: Gold (ND)’. Or, if you own a pre-3.0 ‘Scholar’s Library (RA or QB)’, you could upgrade to a 3.0 ‘Scholar’s Library (ND)’. An upgrade must be purchased, and a discount may be available. To see what ‘upgrades/discounts’ you qualify for, enter your Customer ID in the Upgrade Now! box.

Updates are minor releases that include bug fixes and small enhancements. These releases are indicated by a “small” version number change. For example, Komodo IDE 4.0 to Komodo IDE 4.x is an update. Upgrades are major releases that include significant new functionality. These releases are indicated by a “large” version number change. For example, Perl Dev Kit 6.x to Perl Dev Kit 7.0 is an upgrade.
