Pricing - Make payment arrangements for the upgrade with a Dynamic Survey Solutions representative. Version upgrades cost $750 US per license per version. For example, the cost to bring a version 2007 key to version 2008 is $750 US, while the cost to bring a version 2006 key to version 2008 is $1,500 US. Versions which are more than two years old are ineligible for upgrading which means that Version 2005 keys and older are no longer eligible, however a grace period until July 31, 2008 is offered for Version 2005 licenses. We take all major credit cards and require that upgrades be paid for in advance. Upgrades will entitle the user to software maintenance and technical support throughout the version 2008 release period, which is scheduled to run until May of 2009.

Version 2007 Users - The process to update a Version 2006 or later black security key to support v2008 is as follows: (note that all black keys will run v2008 in a generic 'full' mode (no custom options) for ten days beginning with the first use of the key with this version):

1) Using Llave version 2006 or later (Llave can be launched via Start-All Programs-GPSeismic-Security-Llave), choose Black Key-Request. Save the REQ file to disk and email it to cliff@gpseismic.com.

2) We will reply with a full v2008 update file for the key which will unlock it for v2008. The update file can be applied using Llave version 2006 or later via Black Key-Update. Note that any custom licensing options that applied to earlier versions will be preserved when applying the update.
