Further Information

If there are doubts about which license model does apply to your specific situation, please contact the Visionaire team in order that situations of misunderstanding cannot arise.

The Visionaire Team does generally not commit themselves to fix bugs in Visionaire 2.x or provide features to Visionaire 3.x. The Visionaire Team decides on their own, which versions of the program to improve and advance. From Visionaire 4.x on, a new purchase is required. Licensees of programs of Visionaire 3.x are not entitled to free of charge versions of Visionaire 4.x.
