Version 8 and Premium Pack 4

Unread post by pl labrie »

Hello,

Is this version free for those like me who have version 7 and HelpXplain?

If not free, what is the price for an update 8 with skin?

Is Premium Pack 4 compatible with version 7 ?

Thank you and good day

Hi Paul,

Premium Pack 4 also works with HM7 if used on its own. The only restriction is that the new magazine skin may load more slowly there, because it must get the data for the magazine by reading the top-level chapter topics included in the magazine page.

If you didn't get an upgrade key already it means that you purchased Help+Manual 7 more than a year ago. However, there are some nice upgrade bundle offers available until the end of the month:

If you purchased the Premium Pack within the last 12 months a license should have been included in your upgrade notification. If not, please contact support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @). 8)

Hm. I have a working, valid HM8 Key, but my PP purchase is older than a year.

I do not see a 'Upgrade PP only' option in the shop. Does that mean I have to buy it anew (or stay on 3.x)?

Thanks,

/Gerold

Hi Gerold,

You can get a reduced-price upgrade directly from the Upgrade page here:

https://www.helpandmanual.com/order.htm ... on=upgrade

Just click that you have PP3 or older at the top, then you can buy the upgrade. :)
