Update Security Issues
You should be concerned with the security of files you download. Important information about the security of Wolverine-provided downloads is available here.
License Agreements
All updates are subject to the license agreements you agreed to when the software was originally installed.
New Licensing/Update Policy
Effective September, 2004, Wolverine adopted a policy of charging for major software updates only. Prior to that time, major updates were supplied to non-academic customers only if they had an active annual service agreement. (We do not charge academic customers for updates.)
To enforce this policy, we have implemented license dates on our security keys. Updates provided on this page each have a posted "oldest allowable" license date. This prevents a commercial customer who licensed software too long ago from updating it free-of-charge.
To determine the license date(s) click here. If you're using a network-based security key, you must run the license-checking program on the machine on which the network key is installed.
If you download an update to which you are not entitled, the updated software will complain every time you run it. This can happen if and only if you ignore license dates displayed by the license date-checking program described in the previous paragraph.
Because implementation of key-based license dates is new, for a small number of users, security keys may not properly reflect license purchases. If you find yourself in this situation, please email or fax us the following information. Do not call us; we need a hard copy of your request for our records.
1. Your name an organization
2. The name of the Wolverine product(s)
3. The ID of your security key, e.g., S-1010
4. The license date(s) our system claims
5. The license date you feel is appropriate
How Our Updates Work
Downloads are designed to replace selected components of previously installed software. Furthermore, the downloads assume the existence of a standard Wolverine directory structure. You can override the root of this directory, but you cannot override any subdirectories. If you installed our products a long time ago, the downloads will not install properly, and you'll have to get a new CD from us.
