Support Overview

 

What Support Does My License Include?

Each license includes a one-year Service Agreement that incudes unlimited technical support as well as access to all product upgrades for your purchased edition.

At checkout, you may also increase the term of your Service Agreement up to five years from the date of purchase.

How Does My Service Agreement Renew?

You have several options:

• Automatically: At checkout, you may set your Service Agreement to automatically renew at your selected term. Doing so will send you a new license key at that time.
• Manually: Prior to your Service Agreement’s expiration, you may manually renew when contacted regarding your renewal. Doing so will send you a new license key at the time of renewal.

For renewal questions, please contact our customer operations team.

Will Cerberus FTP Server Stop Working if I Don’t Renew My Service Agreement?

Cerberus FTP Server sells perpetual licenses, which means that the software itself will not expire. However, once your Service Agreement expires you will lose the ability to update to new versions or access support.

How Do I Renew an Expired Service Agreement?

You can renew your Service Agreement on an existing license of Cerberus FTP Server at any time. Once your agreement expires, please send us a quote request and we will walk you through the renewal process. Note that additional service charges may be applied depending on the length of time between expiration and renewal.
