GuideConnect FAQs
Q. I bought GuideConnect with a Premium Plan. Is the Upgrade Agreement the same?
GuideConnect Upgrade Agreement is the new name for GuideConnect Premium Plan, but there are slight differences.
While all active Premium Plans will automatically be transferred to an Upgrade Agreement, features which were previously only available for customers with a Premium Plan - such as video calling and multiple email accounts - are now available for all GuideConnect customers.
Q. What happens if I choose not to renew my GuideConnect Upgrade Agreement?
If a GuideConnect Upgrade Agreement is not for you, you can still continue to use GuideConnect.
However, once the renewal date has passed, your GuideConnect software will not automatically update, this means that you may lose some functionality when Windows update their systems.
An Upgrade Agreement ensures GuideConnect accessibility functions work in the way you expect.
Q. How can I find out when my GuideConnect Upgrade Agreement is going to expire?
A message is displayed in GuideConnect when your Upgrade Agreement is close to expiring.
You can also check when your GuideConnect Upgrade Agreement is due to expire within the product:
- From the main menu, choose 'Tools'
- Then choose 'About'
- Select 'Check my Upgrade Agreement'
-
GuideConnect then tells you when your Upgrade Agreement is due to expire.
Q. My Upgrade Agreement has expired and my GuideConnect is also out of date.
Can I still renew the Upgrade Agreement?
Yes, you can renew your GuideConnect Upgrade Agreement at any time.
- If your Upgrade Agreement expired less than 12 months ago, you will be charged an upgrade fee to bring your Upgrade Agreement back up to date.
Your renewal date will then be retroactively applied to bring it into line with your original renewal date.
- NEW - If an Upgrade Agreement expired more than 12 months ago, you will need to pay a standard upgrade fee to bring it up to date.
This is charged at the equivalent of a one-year renewal.
From here, you can then proactively renew your Upgrade Agreement for up to another five years.
We recommend that you keep your GuideConnect Upgrade Agreement up to date, to ensure you always get the best value for money.
