How can I change the feature level of my EASE 5 JR or Standard license to Standard or Pro?

You may upgrade to a higher feature level at any point during the term of the license, that is, before your time limit expires.

In order to switch, you have to pay the Renewal Fee for the one-year or two-year license of the software with the higher feature level. Your license will then be upgraded by AFMG to the new feature level. 

What licensing and pricing model do you offer for EASE 5?

With the new version of EASE we are moving to a new licensing model. The software is provided under a time-limited license for a period of one or two years.

Starting with EASE: If EASE 5 is licensed for the first time, an Initial Fee has to be paid:

  • One-year license: Initial Fee, 1 Year
  • Two-year license: Initial Fee, 2 Years*

Renewal Costs: Upon expiration of the license, the license can be renewed by paying a Renewal Fee:

I purchased my EASE 4 license after March 12, 2018: When will I receive my free license for EASE 5?

To help our existing EASE 4 customers make a smooth transition to the new EASE platform, AFMG has granted a free license of EASE 5 for each new commercial license of EASE 4.4 purchased between March 12, 2018 and October 3rd, 2022.

These customers can retrieve their free EASE 5 license now or at a later date upon request. We will provide a regular time-limited two-year license of the corresponding feature level*.
