upgrade integrity/time limit
« on: 2010 April 28 11:03:00 »
I've been reading alot of the requests and it says that more modules will be available in the future....star statistics, bloom reduction....etc....all of which I'd be interested in.

The question....if I purchase the program how long will I receive free updates?.....and are they free updates?

best regards,

bud

Hi again :)

Current registered users have free access to our servers until the PixInsight 2.0 release (no release time, could be next year, or in ten years... we don't know yet). This means, you may freely download the PixInsight application, the PCL development framework and any process/module that the main developers launch (i.e. not included third party developers).

Up to this date, there are updates of the main application quite often. You may check the Release Information section to have an idea of the time lapses. Modules are updates less often, but due small changes in the PCL, they required recompilations many times, to be compatible with the latest core application. As I said, those upgrades, and new process releases, are free.
Regards,

Carlos Milovic F.

Hi Carlos,

... until the PixInsight 2.0 release (no release time, could be next year, or in ten years... we don't know yet).

I definitely can confirm that 2.0 will happen before ten years ...  :laugh:

Debayer is now part of the standard PI distro so while I wrote it it's not really third party anymore :)

I wouldn't have minded being 3rd party but with all those obscure platforms PI supports I didn't feel like setting up a compilation farm :)


PS just kidding about the 'obscure' bit :)
