What is the AUP coverage period?
AUP coverage is for one year from date of purchase and must be renewed annually in order to stay in effect. You can purchase additional years of AUP anytime during the coverage period. Maintaining current AUP coverage is more cost effective than purchasing an upgraded version of a product at full price. It is also a way to accurately budget for software upgrades and treat them as annual business expenses, rather than periodically funding large purchases.
