New VCL Product Delivery Model

With this release, all DevExpress products engineered for Delphi and C++ Builder will be sold on a subscription basis. When you purchase a product – be it an individual suite such as the ExpressQuantumGrid or the full VCL Subscription, you receive one-year subscription from DevExpress for that product and or package. This means that within the first 12 months from purchase date, you are guaranteed to receive product updates, including new features and bug fixes for the product or package you’ve licensed free of charge. When the subscription period expires, you can renew your subscription for an additional year. If you do not renew your subscription, you can continue to use the product you’ve licensed for as long as you wish but you would not receive new versions or updates unless you renew your subscription.

Should you have any questions on this new product delivery model feel free to contact the DevExpress Client Services Team at: clientservices@devexpress.com
