Important changes (commercial)
Thinkable has started the transition for the TactileView software from generation 2.2 to 2.5. This involves a couple of changes, apart from the enhancements of the functionality.
The version indication will change; future versions will have only numbers like 2.50.0.10
The policy for upgrading will change. Until now all newer/improved versions were available free of charge. This will no longer be the case. For current prices, please visit our webshop.
Note: Versions after 2.49T89C will not automatically upgrade to newer versions.
Upgrades will be available only for the software product codes (SPC) that have been set accordingly by Thinkable or a distributor. During registration a message will indicate if the licence is eligible for an upgrade.
Your distributor is happy to provide you with an upgrade. An upgrade is also available in our webshop.
For an overview of the improvements in the latest version 2.500 compared to the previous release of TactileView 2.200 see below.
