In other words, will it be cheaper to buy your product,

And what about after-servious and upgrades?

All our products are guaranteed for one year.
我们所有的产品都能确保用一年。
As for upgrades they will also be free for one year and can be downloaded from the internet.

I assume your company is mainly interested in the PC version,
