Description
HID FARGO Asure ID Upgrade | 86447
This SKU is an UPGRADE license ā it is not a full, stand-alone Asure ID program. It is intended for customers who already own the qualifying Asure ID license shown below and want to move to a higher or newer edition.
This product requires an eligible existing Asure ID license. Do not order this SKU for a new installation that does not already have the required qualifying license.
What You Are Buying
- SKU: 86447
- License Type: Software Upgrade
- Upgrade From: Enterprise
- Edition / Upgrade To: Exchange
- License Range: 6-20
What this SKU does: moves an eligible installation from Enterprise to Exchange. Because this is an upgrade, the qualifying original license must already exist.
Choose the Correct Asure ID SKU
Full Program: for a new software license. Upgrade: for an existing qualifying license moving to another edition/version. Site License: adds licensed users/workstations to an eligible deployment. Protect Plan: support/update coverage only; software is not included.
Because Asure ID has many similar part numbers, verify the current edition, target edition, user range and delivery/license requirements before ordering.
