Aurel really goes above and beyond with their product support. Process modeling can be very complex and Aurel has always been there to help us with our modeling questions.

Maintenance & Support

Aurel Systems offers one year of software support and updates (at no charge) for all new software purchases. After one year, Maintenance & Support renewals are available at reasonable rates. Our Maintenance & Support Policy explains more about what is covered.

Software Updates

Current versions of CADSIM Plus have an updater built in. Start CADSIM Plus and click Help > Check for updates...

Software updates for older versions of CADSIM Plus (v2.6 and prior) can be downloaded and installed manually. You will need a user name and password to log in to the downloads area and to run the built-in updater. Please note that only currently supported versions of CADSIM software products are actively updated. However, many legacy software updates are maintained on our website.

Bug Fixes

Aurel uses a system of continuous improvement for our software products. When a critical software bug is reported to us (and we can reliably reproduce it in-house) we will attempt to fix it, and issue a software update, as rapidly as possible - sometimes within 24 hours.

Hours of Operation

Generally, we try to answer your support questions in real time. Our office hours are 8:30 am to 5:00 pm (Pacific Standard Time) Monday, through Friday. However, we often answer e-mails outside of those hours. Please see Contact Us for more info.
