Service packages and licenses
Since version 1.4, it is distinguished between two firmware versions:
- The continuously freely maintained and published version “base”,
- As well as the new version “pro”, enriched with new and powerful features.
The latter one is not freely offered, but acquired with a new license. This license may either be individually bought, in this case, the firmware package is supplied by e-mail. Or it is bought in the shop together with a purchased Netzer.
The pro version requires an update to Bootloader 3.
