Micropal Systems mainstream product support for Microfile XE versions 2.50 and older ended on August 1, 2012. Customers are advised not to run an unsupported version of Microfile XE after the end-of-support date.

Customers who are duly paying license subscription fees are eligible to upgrade to newer versions of Microfile XE free of charge and continue to have mainstream product support for the newer versions.

Customers who failed to pay license subscriptions in a timely manner are not eligible for free upgrades. Free product support and system re-activation keys are not available.

If you are not eligible for free upgrades due to failure to duly pay rental or annual subscription fees and you need product upgrade or system re-activation keys for Microfile XE, you may
(1) pay the arrears of annual fees or rental fees to revive your eligibility and upgrade to newer versions; or
(2) pay a handling fee for a special product re-activation key. The cost of the new activation key will be based on your previous licenses case-by-case. The re-activation key will be only for the Microfile XE version you are using; or
(3) buy a new license for a newer version.
