For example, a machine builder designs in a PLC today and buys the software. It is important to note that customers are not required to upgrade their software to keep using the same hardware. So, if Omron changed the software version number from 1.2 to 2.1, that upgrade would have to be purchased by the customer, but with their existing registration info, they would get a substantial discount over customers buying for the first time. Upgrades are different and we call them 'Integer revisions'. Whenever Omron updates the software, the customer can use their registration info to get a free update. Updates are the decimal revisions to the software such as when the software version number changes from 1.2 to 1.3 or 1.5. Software registration (see tips on this page) entitles the user to free updates. Omron does not charge annual license or subscription fees for their Sysmac Studio or CX-One software.
