All software updates and upgrades are backwards compatible with every USB tester we have ever made.

Customized software is excluded (section 4.0).
2.0 Product Support Subscription Renewal and Reactivation
Subscriptions can be renewed and even reactivated if expired. For HVX series testers, the warranty element is dependent on the age of the tester.
2.1 Standard Product Support Subscription Renewal
Before the end of the subscription period, you may purchase a further one-year extension. Product support subscription renewal continues coverage as per our standard support subscription unless the product support subscription with HVX limited warranty applies (see section 2.2).
When purchasing a new tester, you may order the extended subscription in advance for up to 3 additional years (i.e. a total subscription period of 5 years from date of purchase) to ensure future coverage at the same price.
Failure to renew, by intent or oversight, will result in lapse of the subscription and loss of any benefits that it would otherwise provide.
2.1.1 Renewing an Expired Product Support Subscription
Expired subscriptions may be renewed with a reinstatement fee. If your current software is v5.4 or earlier, you will also need to purchase a software upgrade to reactivate the subscription.
See 2.2 and 2.2.1 for additional information specific to HVX series testers. Contact us for details.
2.2 Product Support Subscription with HVX Limited Warranty
For HVX series testers, standard product support subscriptions can be renewed for three more years (i.e. a total subscription period of 5 years). Thereafter, annually renewable subscriptions with limited warranties are available. The limited warranty is identical to the standard warranty except that relay boards are excluded.
2.2.1 Renewing an Expired HVX Product Support Subscription
Further to section 2.1.1, an HVX-series tester will be reinstated under a product support subscription with HVX limited warranty (section 2.2) when the tester product support subscription has lapsed for a year or more, or if the tester is five years old or more at the time of renewal.
3.0 Contracts for Product Support Subscription and/or Calibration
For customers with multiple CableEye testers: Save 15% on individual renewal pricing and simplify management of your testers by setting up a yearly contract for all of them — to include support subscription, calibration, or both. Eliminate the hassle of continually renewing individual testers as they expire at different times through the year.
As per best practice in IT management, we highly recommend you maintain a consistent software platform across all of your testers. A support subscription contract is the most economical way for you to keep your software current and consistent across them all.
