Frequently Asked Questions
This article includes a list of frequently asked questions regarding IACBOX related topics.
Can I try IACBOX before purchasing?
Yes, on demand we provide you a full functional, time limited trial license for testing so you can test our solution in detail.
What is Software Maintenance?
IACBOX Software Maintenance includes all available bugfixes, security updates (incl. current SSL certificate), software updates, software upgrades, feature enhancements as well as 2nd & 3rd level support for IACBOX authorized partners incl. remote control. Therefore please note that we are not able to provide any service or support for systems without valid Software Maintenance. Please note that Software Maintenance renewal always starts from Software Maintenance expiration date.
Is my license still working if Software Maintenance has expired?
All licenses are still full operational if Software Maintenance has expired. However, you will not receive any further online updates (SSL certificate, bugfixes, feature updates, etc.) and manufacturer support for licenses without valid Software Maintenance.
My SSL server certificate has expired
IACBOX uses a secure connecion (HTTPS) for login process. When purchasing an IACBOX license a valid SSL certificate is already included. Because SSL certificates expire after a certain time they have to be renewed from time to time. This is done automatically using the online update process for all licenses with valid Software Maintenance. Therefore you need valid Software Maintenance to receive the latest SSL certificate for your license. If Software Maintenance for your licenses has expired please contact your IACBOX authorized partner.
