SSA Frequently Asked Questions

  • > Will I receive a free upgrade if I'm on SSA?

    Yes, you will always receive the most recent version of the software. Sign in to your account to access the download.

  • > How do I access all of my SSA services?

    Sign in to your Chief Architect account to access all of your SSA services.

  • > What if my SSA expires and I want to renew later?

    Chief Architect subscription software includes SSA for the duration of your subscription (monthly or annual). If your subscription/SSA has expired, you can repurchase a subscription that will include SSA.

    If you allow SSA to expire on a legacy license, it can no longer be renewed. Legacy licenses with expired SSA can be upgraded to a software subscription that includes SSA.

  • > Does SSA include free support?

    Yes, SSA includes free priority support for the current version and one version back. SSA includes upgrades, so we encourage you to upgrade to the most current version. Paid support is available for supported products that are two versions back or older.

  • > Will I receive a free upgrade if I own a Student License with SSA?

    Student License upgrades under Support & Software Assurance require student verification. Please call or e-mail for complete details.
