We're moving to subscription-based license models going forward in the Squish 7, Coco 6 and Test Center 2 series.
With a subscription, you get access to every Squish technology edition, all language options in Coco, plus a 2-seat Test Center bundle.
Tech support, patch, minor and major releases are included at no separate charge with the subscription -- simplifying costs and easing license management.
Upgrade today to the new model:
Subscription-based licensing enables customers to use Squish, Coco and Test Center within various time periods (e.g., annually), as long as the subscription period is active. The subscription payment includes software licenses, access to technical support services, and all feature- and patch-level versions as they are released.
Under a subscription-based model, technical support, and all bug fix-, minor- and major releases are included for the time period of the subscription, at no extra cost. In other words, maintenance is included by default.
Maintenance for perpetual licensees, however, is a renewable fee, and is what gives you continued access to incremental versions of Squish, Coco and Test Center, and their technical support.
Yes. Perpetual license holders are able to use their license seats in perpetuity, even after the maintenance period ends.
Please note that new feature releases of the QA Tools series Squish 7.x+, Coco 6.x+ and Test Center 2.x+ will be available under the new subscription model only.
For maintenance renewal, we will offer support & update renewals for perpetual (legacy) license holders with a currently active support & updates contract until the end of Q3/2022 for a contract ending no later than September 2023. Under the legacy support & updates contract, customers will continue to receive bug fix and patch-level releases, and technical support for the Squish 6.7.x, Coco 5.1.x and Test Center 1.2.x series.
The subscription-based scheme, with seats provided via a floating license server, offers key advantages to our users. These include:
