DSM-IV patients and and modules will still function. Obviously, they won't have DSM-5 diagnoses or ICD-10 codes.
Because of the significance of the change there is no automatic method to "update" patients to DSM-5 from DSM-IV.
DSM-IV Tx Plans would need to be recreated with DSM-5 planners to display DSM-5 diagnoses.

From a version number perspective, the difference is in which numbers change. 15.1 to 15.2 or 15.2 to 16.1 is considered a major update. 15.1.0 to 15.1.1 is a minor update.
From a functional perspective, major updates will typically include new features or functionality. Minor updates will typically include changes to current functionality that may need to be re-factored for various reasons.
Category(s): Installation
Version(s): 5.x, 15.1 and newer
We plan to publish one major updates each year which will include new features and functionality. However, if there is a code change that is essential to the current functionality then a new minor version update (15.1x) would be released ahead of that schedule.

Licensing
A user license for a given major release (e.g.: 15.x) is valid indefinitely. Each time you renew the annual maintenance agreement, new user license(s) will be granted for that major release.
Category(s): Licensing
Version(s): 5.x, 15.1 and newer
Yes. Each user will need an activated license to be able to log into the application.
Category(s): Licensing
Version(s): 5.x, 15.1 and newer
Yes. Using the Modify Activation button at the bottom of the provider screen, one can rename a provider or transfer the license to another user/provider. First create the new provider and then use the Modify button to transfer the license.
One would Rename an existing provider if a name changed or was misspelled.

Category(s): Licensing
Version(s): 5.x, 15.1 and newer
Yes. By default, we allow 2 installations per license. If more are required due to reasonable circumstances, you can request additional installations.
Category(s): Licensing
Version(s): 5.x, 15.1 and newer
Yes. A single, unique location can split their system into multiple databases. The same activation code will be used so the licenses in both systems will count towards the total number of licenses purchased.
To activate a user in more than one database will require a license for each database.

If each location is autonomous -- unique providers and clients -- each would be considered separate installation and thus a unique purchase of the application. For more details regarding your specific situation, please contact our Sales department: Sales@TheraScribe.com or 616-776-1745 x4.
If multiple locations share a database (SQL Server for example) that could be considered a single installation.

Because disk crashes are all too common, it is critical to maintain separate backups of the TheraScribe data file(s) offline. (TheraScribe?.mdb)
Backups can be created from the Tools/Database screen. It is recommended that periodic backups be stored in a location other than the production computer.
If your computer crashes and you're unable to activate upon re-installation, please check w/ Tech Support to allow another install -- 616-776-1745 x5 or email Support@TheraScribe.com and include your registration code.
