Frontline Improves Licensing for NetDecoder and Serialtest Async Protocol Analyzers

    CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, May 18, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Frontline Test Equipment, Inc. is pleased to announce simplified licensing for NetDecoder and Serialtest Async analyzers and will no longer charge for software updates on these products. From now on if customers own an RS-232 ComProbe II, RS-422/485 ComProbe or a CC-Link ComProbe they can install the software on any PC.

The new changes for the NetDecoder and Serialtest Async software will go into effect on May 1st with the release of version 12.2.24.1. These changes mean that customers have increased freedom to use the software as they please. Customers will also benefit with free future upgrades enabling them to make the most out of bug fixes and new features.

Frontline's Serialtest and NetDecoder software analyzers along with its ComProbe hardware have been the leading solution for diagnosing and troubleshooting communication problems in industrial networks. Frontline recognizes that its previous software licensing have been a hurdle to make effective use of the solution. The new licensing scheme has been put in place after listening to some great feedback from our customers. We believe that this system will clear all hurdles and let our customers focus more on their problems instead of worrying about how to use the tools.
