Free Maintenance Upgrades
Free maintenance upgrades are identified by a letter and possible patch number following an STN Express version. For example, 5.0ep1 is patch 1 of maintenance upgrade e for version 5.0.
Maintenance upgrades are for specific versions of STN Express. For example, 6.0d does not work with 4.1a or 5.0ep1.
Maintenance upgrades are cumulative. You may, for example, upgrade 6.0 to 6.01, and you may upgrade 6.0c to 6.01. The end result is the same.
