Active Maintenance Gives You Access to the Latest LiveNX Releases and Features

Why fall behind when you don’t have to? Having an active maintenance contract allows you to easily upgrade to the latest version of your solution and leverage the new feature you’ve been waiting for. As software and cloud application features evolve, you will ensure your solution is not only evolving as well, but is performing to the best of its abilities. For example, 4.x license keys are not compatible with 5.x or 6.x, if you’re under active maintenance, you may request your license key upgrade at: license@liveaction.com

Active Maintenance Allows You to Reinstall Purchased Software

As long as you renew your maintenance contract, you will be able to reinstall the purchased software at the version you were running, or at the most recent version. If you did not renew your maintenance contract, or do not currently have maintenance, you have zero options—the license you wiped from your original server is no longer associated with the machine.
