Topic #9: Upgrades
When you buy software that is constantly evolving, it is important to receive upgrades whether they are free or not. Most companies, especially if you download their product online, will give you free periodic upgrades to download. The trick with these is to make sure that you don't upgrade your product to the beta version. Wait for the final release to come out. Beta versions are usually filled with bugs and other problems that your company doesn't need slowing it down.
Another topic that you should be concerned with is security and bug fixes. Not all programs are created equal, and problems do arise after the software's final release. Companies provide patches on their web sites for their specific products that will "patch" up the problems. With the whole world getting more and more cyber savvy, it becomes increasingly important to keep your sensitive information secure. Security patches are specifically designed to do that job and you should keep up to date.
