Upgrading From a Lease

If you are on a lease (or previously had a lease) and want to upgrade to a Purchased License, MotiveWave will apply up to a maximum of 6 months' worth of lease payments (6 Monthly Lease payments, or two cycles of the 3-Month Auto-Renewing Lease, or one 6 Month Lease payment) that you paid towards an upgrade. This does not include any discounts, taxes, or currency conversions. You would only need to pay the remaining difference between the regular-priced Purchased License cost and your qualifying lease payments for the edition you leased, or a higher edition Purchased License.

Note: If you purchased your lease during a sale, that sale discount is not locked in as a discount on the Purchased License?it applies only to your lease.

However, if there's an active sale when you're ready to upgrade from your lease to the Purchased License, our Sales team can apply that current sale discount to the remaining difference between the regular-priced Purchased License cost and your qualifying lease payments.

To ensure a smooth process, the upgrade from a lease to a Purchased License must be manually created by our Sales team before you can complete the upgrade.

We recommend contacting our Sales team at sales@motivewave.com. They will calculate your exact upgrade cost, create the upgrade for you, and can also cancel any auto-renewing subscriptions on your lease (if you are on the Monthly or 3-Month Auto Renewing lease).

Upgrading From a Lower Edition Purchased License

If you have a lower edition Purchased License and wish to upgrade to a higher edition, MotiveWave will apply the cost you paid for your current lower edition (excluding any discounts, taxes, or currency conversions) towards the upgrade.

Within 1 Year of Purchasing the Purchased License

If your upgrade to a higher edition occurs within 1 year of your original Purchased License purchase, you will only need to pay the remaining difference between the regular-priced higher edition Purchased License and the cost you paid for your lower edition Purchased License (again, not including any discounts, taxes, or currency conversions).

1 Year (or More) After Purchasing the Purchased License

If it has been more than 1 year since the purchase of your Purchased License, you must have active support and updates to upgrade to a higher edition. If your support and updates have expired, you will first need to purchase the optional "Additional 1 Year of Updates and Support" for your current edition before you can upgrade (please refer to our Products page for purchasing Updates and Support).

Note: Any sale discount applied during your initial Purchased License purchase is not locked in for a higher edition upgrade.

However, if there's a sale when you decide to upgrade to a higher edition Purchased License, our Sales team can apply that current sale discount to the remaining difference between the regular-priced higher edition Purchased License and the cost you paid for your lower edition Purchased License (excluding discounts, taxes, or currency conversions).

For this type of upgrade, the process must also be manually created by our Sales team before you can proceed.

Please reach out to our Sales team at sales@motivewave.com to get an exact upgrade cost calculation and to facilitate the upgrade for you.
