Demonstration files are available to anyone who visits Plexon online. With respect to the installation packages and upgrades, all upgrades for a purchased version of software are available at no cost. The initial software package is installed on a system prior to delivery. Thereafter, upgrades will be available online until the next version of the software is produced. The important part to accessing software installations and upgrades is having the proper license key with the desired access. You may purchase a key for a specific version or you may have your previously purchased key updated to unlock access to a more current version.

If you are interested in purchasing a new software version, or additional license keys for your current version, contact a Plexon Sales Engineer for a quote.
