New HSMAdvisor License Upgrade Options
There have been some improvements in the purchasing system that I think our users will find VERY useful.
From now on here is how you can upgrade your HSMAdvisor license:
-
Adding More Seats to Existing License (OLD)
As before you can add more seats to an existing license. -
Upgrade from 1 and 3 HP Licenses (NEW)
If you're currently using a 1 HP or 3 HP license you can upgrade to either the Unlimted Floating or Unlimited Permanent license. -
Transitioning from Cancelled or Active Subscription (NEW)
You can now switch from a subscription-based model to any other license type.
Your current subscription will be canceled (if it isn't canceled already) and a new license will be sent to you.
In all cases, you will only have to pay the difference between the new and the existing license.
The minimum upgrade fee is USD 10
Please read more about the upgrade process here: HSMAdvisor License Upgrades
Cheers!
HSMAdvisor v2.7.2
Good news, everybody!
HSMAdvisor now has a G and M-Code reference page:
Also in this update, I have fixed error messages that appeared after the clean install.
These weren't critical as they appeared only once, but I assume they caused a few new users not to continue using the app, which is quite unfortunate.
The latest update can be downloaded from here: https://hsmadvisor.com/download
Thanks to everybody who sends feedback and suggestions!

Adding more seats to your existing HSMAdvisor License
Who likes to send emails and worry about additional invoices just to add a couple of seats to their existing license?
Nobody that's who!
HSMAdvisor customers can now purchase more seats right from the https://hsmadvisor.com/buy page.
All you have to do is enter the same First Name, Last Name, and Email you used when purchasing the original license.
The multiple-seat discount will apply to the existing license!
