Yes, you can upgrade within one year by simply paying the price difference.

Q: If we purchase the software, how long will it be supported ?

Once you order, you will receive 12 months free access to all future upgraded versions of the product. If you decide to continue with updates, the following 12 months of all software updates/upgrades is 15% of the license price.

Q: How is DbDefence licensed ?

The license is applied on a per server basis. One license will apply to one server, which may have as many databases and as many users as necessary to run that server. The size of the database is calculated as the sum total of all the data files of the database, excluding the log. The limit is PER DATABASE. Not for the total.
