Altium has announced extended benefits to Altium Subscription. with the release of Altium Designer 15. Altium has committed to delivering Product Updates and Maintenance Updates to the current release and Maintenance Updates to previous releases.

Starting with Altium Designer 14, Altium will deliver fixes and small enhancements as Maintenance Updates to two preceding releases in addition to updates and upgrades to the latest release. Altium Subscription customers will continue to receive Maintenance Updates for Altium Designer 14 and 15 through the release of Altium Designer 16 - at which time a three year moving window of maintenance support will be in place.

This model provides Altium Subscription customers with the flexibility to choose the best timing for their organisation to migrate to a new release without concerns about working with unsupported software.

“Customers in mission critical environments often have longer development cycles and more strenuous tool evaluation procedures. With this change to Altium Subscription, Altium Designer fits perfectly into such environments allowing designers to choose tools that meet their needs today, and tomorrow. Now they can get the best tools from Altium with the extended support they need,” comments Jason Hingston, CTO, Altium.

Altium believes this change will further improve the overall customer experience and responds to requests by users in both large and small organisations.
