You can download the new version and install it and your existing activation code will automatically unlock the new update.

Major changes are classified as an Upgrade; for example the release from PBDelta v4.x to v5.x. Our Policy for upgrades requires an upgrade fee to be purchased. Existing users can purchase an Upgrade license which rewards existing customers with a discount off the new full product purchase price.

Three Months Protection
When you purchase any of the products on PBDR.COM your registration code will activate any updates  to that product for the lifetime of the product. If you purchase a product and a upgrade is released within 3 months of your purchase date you are entitled to a free upgrade to the new product  and you will automatically receive a new code for the new upgrade shortly after the product is released.

PowerBuilder Version Independent
Your license will activate the minor version of the utility irrespective of the PowerBuilder version, so if you purchase PBDelta when you are using PowerBuilder 9 you can download the PowerBuilder 12 version of PBDelta and use it with the same registration code.

Upgrading from a Pack
If you purchase a set of utilities through one of our money saving offers, the license you receive is for the individual products but at a lower price. The same upgrade policy applies to the utilities once you have purchased them. For example if you purchase a utility through a package deal and a new version comes out within 3 months you still get a free upgrade.
