Software update services
Order
To order the software update service, an article number must be
specified. The software update service can be ordered when the
software products are ordered or at a later date. Subsequent
orders require that the ordering party is in possession at least of
a single license.
Note:
It is recommended that the software update service is ordered
as early as possible. If a new software version of a software
product is released for delivery by Siemens, only those custom-
ers will receive it automatically who are entered in the appropri-
ate delivery list at Siemens at this time. Previous software ver-
sions, or the current software version are not supplied when the
software update service is ordered. The software update service
requires that the software product is up-to-date at the time of
completion of the contract for the software update service.
Delivery
When a software update service is ordered, you will be sent the
contractual conditions of this service and the price is due for
payment. At the same time, you will be included in a delivery list
for the software product to be updated. If Siemens releases a
new software version for the corresponding software product
for general sale (function version or product version), it will be
delivered automatically to the goods recipient specified in the
delivery address within the contract period.
