It provides you with unlimited releases to GuideConnect for those twelve months.
You can also purchase additional Upgrade Agreements to ensure you're covered for longer. These can be purchased for up to five years.

Requests for additional options for calendar events have been met with a host of new calendar reminders which include repeat events at intervals to suit you.
You also now have the option to customise repeat appointments in your GuideConnect calendar to meet your own needs. Handy for regular get-togethers with friends, appointments and ticking off the regular jobs on your to-do list!
Additional fixes and improvements
The release this May also includes bug fixes and improvements to video calling, emails, letters and documents, the bookshelf, dictation and PDF printing.
