Additional years of software updates purchased. For purchasing software updates [click here](https://store.intrepidcs.com/). ### Checking Your License File for the Ability to Update License files can be checked for upgrade eligibility under Tools->[Options](/vspy-3-documentation/3.9.11/vehicle-spy-main-menus/main-menu-tools/tools-options.md) from the Vehicle Spy main menu. Individual license files can be selected from the License File drop down (Figure 1:![](https://cdn.intrepidcs.net/support/VehicleSpy/assets/smOne.gif)). Selecting a license file will display the information contained in it (Figure 1:![](https://cdn.intrepidcs.net/support/VehicleSpy/assets/smTwo.gif)). The "Upgrade Eligibility" date will let you know if that license file will work with a newer version of Vehicle Spy 3. If the date shown is later than the date listed on the software download page then you can upgrade without a problem. If the Upgrade Eligibility date is older then that date listed on the software download page, then that license file will not run a newer version of Vehicle Spy. If you have more than one license file for different hardware units, make sure all the hardware units you intend to use are eligible for the update. The serial numbers stored in a license file are shows in under the "Licensed Hardware" box (Figure 1:![](https://cdn.intrepidcs.net/support/VehicleSpy/assets/smFour.gif)). ![Figure 1: Vehicle Spy licensing information is found on the Tools->Options->Vehicle Spy Setup->License tab.](https://2673726158-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdYdvinhoJh0IN6rV8uo3%2Fuploads%2FPFsN6dBJWAorUZZPwvD7%2FspyLicense.gif?alt=media\&token=8d6a52a7-6613-4422-8a6e-3eb7792bf387) Old unneeded license files can be removed by clicking the View License Folder button.
