2.1 Purchasing Options

We understand that each organization has different purchasing processes and policies and have therefore kept our own process quite fluid to keep pace. To that effect we offer two primary purchasing options:

Google Checkout - Customers can navigate to the Purchase Tabon our website, select the type of license and quantity, and the proceed to Google Checkout. The process is straightforward and similar to most online payment tools. Google Checkout does require a Google ID and it is recommended that an ID be created for the organization. The email address associated to the Google ID is where the license will be emailed, registered to in our system, and listed in the License tab of the software, visible only to Administrators.

An online receipt is available by navigating to the Purchase History or your account. An invoice/receipt on ScreenConnect company letterhead is available upon request by emailing . Please make sure and include your name, phone, email address, and Google Order # with the request.

Purchase Order (PO) - We do accept purchase orders and have provided an online invoice/quote process. Our standard policy is to extend trial licenses throughout the purchasing process and ship the permanent license once final payment has been received.

Our online invoice process is designed to be quick and easy, however if you need a quote, invoice, or receipt on company letterhead please .

2.2 Upgrades

Each ScreenConnect license ships with twelve months of software updates and support. At the end of that twelve month period the existing license and software can continue to be used but future software updates will not run with that license.

Customers who want to continue receiving software updates and support can purchase this option via our Upgrade Page. This page requires users to copy/paste in their full license key into a text field which will calculate the upgrade credit.

Upgrades of ScreenConnect are handled like new purchases, but with substantial trade in credit applied to your existing license. The amount of the credit is dependent upon the age of the existing license and a table outlining this schedule is available on the Upgrade Page.

2.3 Licenses

Edit

2.3.1 Purchased Through Google

Licenses are sent automatically from Google Checkout once the payment has been submitted. General turnaround is almost instantaneous but some may take longer. Generally this is related to banks declining the charge initially or some other security measure in place. Users should continue to monitor Google Checkout and their email for updates from Google or us regarding the payment.

If the payment was processed and you never received the license make sure that you check the email address associated with the Google ID used to purchases and your junk folder or SPAM filter. Or you can for assistance.

2.3.2 Purchased Through PO Process

Licenses purchased through a PO process will be sent by a member of our sales team after the payment has arrived and been deposited.
