Support and Upgrade Policy
- During their support period, CodeWeavers customers will receive all product upgrades and releases at no additional charge. This includes point releases (bug fixes), major releases, and unsupported builds.
- Likewise, during their support period, CodeWeavers customers qualify for free support via email. For more information on how to use our support system, please view the support section of our website.
- Customers have a perpetual license to use and redownload any version they were entitled to during their support period, even long after the support period ends.
- CrossOver is a per-user license and you can install CrossOver on as many machines as you like, but only one person may use CrossOver simultaneously per-license.
- We offer discounted support extensions to customers who wish to receive support or a new version of CrossOver after their original support period expires. This discount is available for up to 30 days after a customer's support period expires.
How To Upgrade
- CrossOver Mac: Launch CrossOver, go to the CrossOver menu, and pick 'Check For Updates'. If there is an update available, CrossOver will give you the option to 'Install Update'.
Note: If your support license is expired, it will not allow you to update. - CrossOver Linux: You can also login to your account and go to My Downloads to redownload the last version of CrossOver you're able to unlock.
- To check if your CrossOver license is still active go to your Support Licenses. If your license has expired you can purchase a new one at our Store. You will then be able to download and unlock the latest version of CrossOver from My Downloads.

Truth in Advertising: The Real Dirt
Tangible things you will get now:
- The ability to easily install and run many Windows applications.
You'll be able to start those Windows applications from your dock or whatever menu you like best. Applications, notably games, will run at essentially the same speed as they do on Windows. And all of this without having to buy or run a copy of Windows itself.
- Kick-ass support
Paying customers can submit problems to our elite Ninja support team. As of September 2015, their average response time was 2.5 hours per email. Obviously, some responses are a great deal faster, and some slower. But the bottom line is that we respond to all of our customers as quickly as we can. So if you don't hear back quickly, check your spam folder. You can refer to our support page for details on all of our support options.
The Catch:
- Not everything works.
The catch is that CrossOver doesn't run every Windows program, and some programs that do run, run with flaws. We have excellent resources to help you see whether or not your application works in our Compatibility Center, and a lot of other tips and support options in our support center.
Tangible things you will get in the future:
- Support and upgrades
During your one year support period, you will be able to download all versions released and you will be able to obtain technical support. Upon the expiration of that time period, all customers will still be able to download the most current version of the software that they received while under the support agreement, forever (or at least as long as we can practically make that possible). See our Upgrade Policy for more information on how to upgrade.
- Community resources
We're committed to providing community resources so that our customers can help each other. The Compatibility Center is key to that - with tips and tricks, discussion forums, and much more. We also continue to host the Wine website so that you can always turn to the broader Wine community.
We also provide forums to foster direct communication between our customers and so that you can exchange tips and learn from the experience of each other.
Intangible benefits you will get:
You will be helping to provide a much needed source of income to a Free Software company that has provided a large range of valuable improvements to one of the most key Free Software Projects - Wine. You can see a list of what we have done on our Wine page.
CodeWeavers will use the revenue from the end user version of CrossOver to continue its work on Wine as well as to enhance and improve our products.
CrossOver and Microsoft

Yesterday, we announced that CodeWeavers was making good on its promise of offering its whole software library for free, for one whole day. That day is here, and you can now grab your free copy of CrossOver Mac, CrossOver Games or CrossOver Linux. Existing CrossOver users also have it their way today.
“We are giving away all of our software for free on Tuesday, October 28th, 2008,” reads a post on the company's website. The CrossOver Serial Number Sign Up page reveals that “this is a fully working, fully supported copy of either CrossOver Mac Professional, or CrossOver Linux Professional. No hooks, tricks, timebombs, or gimmicks: it's the real deal.”
For those who haven't been reading the news lately, CodeWeavers launched the Great American Lame Duck Presidential Challenge in July, attempting to get President Bush to do some good deeds before stepping down. CodeWeavers said they'd offer all their software for free should Mr. Bush accomplish a major economic or political goal by January 20, 2009. Bush was supposed to make specific positive accomplishments in areas such as the economy, home values, the stock market, the war on terror and other key issues, but one goal in particular called for the President to help bring average gasoline prices in the Twin Cities to $2.79 a gallon. This happened on Monday, October 14.
To get your free software, you simply need to complete a small form (email address required) and to confirm it. An email will be sent to the email address you entered, containing a serial code. Once you receive your serial code, go to this page and register your software. As soon as you're done with these steps, you will be able to log into your account on CodeWeavers' website, and download your product of choice, the company says.
NOTE: Your serial code must be registered on CodeWeavers' website before 23:59 PM (Central Standard Time). After midnight (Tuesday), the code is no longer valid. The limit is 1 copy per customer and it's a download only.As an existing CodeWeavers customer, you also benefit from CodeWeavers' offer. You get a completely new support entitlement for another 12 months. As a user of CodeWeavers' Standard products, “Merry Christmas: you've just been upgraded to Pro. For Free,” says the company. No time to waste.
UPDATE 1: The CodeWeavers website is currently down (no surprise there), due to the high volume of traffic for the Lame Duck Challenge Free Offer. We'll update this piece again when (if?) the CodeWeavers site is back up, so you can register CrossOver. Hopefully, everyone gets to register their copy of CrossOver by the end of the day.
You can still download a trial version of CrossOver during this time, and unlock it to full version with your registered account when the main site comes back online.UPDATE 2: According to CodeWeavers, your serial code will actually be valid until 23:59 (Midnight) Wednesday October 29th Central Standard Time (CST). 'You will be able to unlock your serial number that was emailed to you for an extended time, (an additional 48 hours), due to this downtime. We will simply stop giving out new serial numbers at 23:59 (Midnight) Central Standard Time,' the company has stated.
UPDATE 3:CodeWeavers says it is 'working on a different approach' to get the free software in your hands. The company is advising those who checked in to activate their keys to wait for 30 minutes and try again.

UPDATE 4: the makers of Crossover have updated their site with a new message saying 'Please check back again for registration code information later today. We're working on getting a minimal functioning site.'
UPDATE 5:CodeWeavers has set up a method to provide folks with their serial code. You will simply need to enter your e-mail address and (check this) 'expect your serial number to be emailed to you in a few days.'
