Program “bug” fixes are available on the Web Service Center as we correct them, and we do not notify you; however, you may access the Web Service Center at anytime to see what is available.

Program “enhancements”, such as the release of a compatibility update for a new version of QuickBooks or the release of a new billing format, are made available on the Web Service Center and we do notify you via email that “enhancement” updates are available and what the enhancements are.

As a customer of Sunburst Software Solutions, Inc. it is your responsibility to maintain your program, unlike Intuit and Microsoft we do not arbitrarily and automatically update your software, as we feel that software programs should do things when YOU tell them to do it. You are also responsible for downloading and installing updates following the instructions that we provide on the Web Service Center.
