Oil Change is a subscription service, and CyberMedia offers its customers three types of subscriptions:
 |
Trial: You can download a free 30-day subscription to Oil Change from the CyberMedia Web site. When you use the trial subscription, Oil Change searches the CyberMedia ActiveHelp server for updates to a predetermined, limited set of products. |
|
OEM: OEM, or Original Equipment Manufacturer, refers to a company that is using Oil Change, with the permission of CyberMedia, to update a specific product or products. The OEM usually limits Oil Change so that it searches for updates for only the OEM’s own products. |
|
Full: You can buy a full one-year subscription to Oil Change from the CyberMedia Web site, from a retail software store, and so on. When you use the full subscription, Oil Change scans your computer for products and checks the CyberMedia ActiveHelp server for available updates. |
So, you see that the type of subscription determines how long you receive access to the CyberMedia ActiveHelp server and which product updates Oil Change searches for. Just like a magazine subscription, your Oil Change subscription will expire. And just like a magazine publisher, CyberMedia offers ways for you to extend your subscription:
|
If you are using a Trial or OEM subscription, use the Subscribe button on the Supported Applications and Drivers dialog box to upgrade your subscription. |
|
If you have bought a full subscription, use the Membership button on the Supported Applications and Drivers dialog box to extend your subscription for another year. |
