Structural Material Manager

Software Upgrades

Structural Material Manager is constantly being updated via two different types of upgrades: maintenance releases and feature-adding upgrades.

Maintenance releases - or "patches" as they are typically called - are included with your purchase as part of our free technical support policy; they are provided at no charge on our FTP site. Patches are constantly being released during the active lifetime of a major version. Eventually, as a version becomes obsolete, new patches are no longer offered for it, but the final maintenance release remains available on our Web site. For instance, Version 7.1 was discontinued many years ago, but registered Version 7.1 customers who never upgraded to newer major versins can still download the Version 7.1p patch at no charge.

Feature-adding upgrades are released less frequently than patches. As these upgrades become available, registered customers are notified that a new version is available. As a registered customer, you may elect to receive the upgrade by submitting payment in the amount specified in the upgrade notice. Your investment is thus protected by having access to inexpensive upgrades as new program versions are released.

Click the appropriate link below to learn about the changes that were implemented in a particular upgrade version.

Version 10.1 Upgrade - Click this link to see screen shots of the new Graphical User Interface (GUI) that has replaced the old material entry screen in Version 10.1.

Version 10.0 Upgrade - Our first Windows Vista-compatible system was Version 10.0.

Whereas the links above provide descriptions of some different upgrade versions, keep in mind that only the newest upgrade is ever actually available for purchase. That's not a problem since the latest upgrade always contains the features implemented by its predecessors. For example, suppose you own Structural Material Manager Version 9.2 and would like to upgrade to Version 10.1. Also suppose that you did not purchase the Version 10.0 upgrade that came between 9.2 and 10.0. There is no need to order 10.0, as 10.1 contains all of its features. Of course your Version 10.1 upgrade price will be higher than for another customer who who did indeed upgrade to 10.0 when it was available, as there is no financial incentive to skip an upgrade version. Still, the fact remains that you do not need to or install one or more "intermim" CD's (Version 10.0 in this example) in order to upgrade to the latest system. One upgrade CD - the latest version - is all you need.

Customers with older versions can e-mail us at Sales@ejeindustries.com to obtain a price quote on the latest upgrade.
