All purchasers will receive free updates to their manual as they become available for a period of one (1) year from the date of their purchase. The current version and all updates are delivered within one business day of purchase/availability in PDF format and not for further distribution.

All manuals are watermarked with customer-specific information such as name and email address in order to discourage further distribution. If you are interested in buying copies for your whole team, please check out the 5-Pack and 10-Pack.
