I can provide a detailed answer to the question of whether SilverFast 9 is a free upgrade.
If you have purchased SilverFast 8 within the last two months, it is highly likely that you are eligible for a free upgrade to SilverFast 9. The exact terms and conditions may vary depending on the specific circumstances of your purchase, but generally, LaserSoft Imaging, the company behind SilverFast, offers free upgrades to customers who have recently purchased the previous version of the software.
It is worth noting that the free upgrade offer may also apply if you have purchased SilverFast together with a compatible scanner. Many scanner manufacturers bundle SilverFast with their devices, and in such cases, the software upgrade may be included as part of the scanner package.
To ensure that you are eligible for the free upgrade, it is recommended to check the terms and conditions on the LaserSoft Imaging website or contact their customer support directly. They will be able to provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding the upgrade policy.
In my personal experience, LaserSoft Imaging has been quite generous with their upgrade policy. I have purchased SilverFast in the past and have received free upgrades when new versions were released within a reasonable timeframe of my purchase. This has allowed me to take advantage of the latest features and improvements without incurring any additional costs.
If you have purchased SilverFast 8 recently or together with a scanner, it is highly likely that you are eligible for a free upgrade to SilverFast 9. However, it is always recommended to check the specific terms and conditions to confirm eligibility. LaserSoft Imaging’s website or customer support can provide you with the necessary information and assistance.
