Free Upgrade for ALL USERS to TLex Suite 2012


We also hereby pre-announce the upcoming TLex Suite 2012, and we will in the near future be giving away automatic free upgrades to version 2012 for ALL existing TLex (TshwaneLex), tlTerm, tlDatabase and tlCorpus users!


(Please feel free to continue buying from our online store - even though it currently still says 'version 2010', do not worry, you will be upgraded for free to version 2012!)


This will help clear up some of the "which version am I on?" confusion experienced by some users, and simplify the downloading and upgrading experience.


Please note that TLex Suite 2012 will be capable of loading dictionary database files from ALL older versions of TLex / TshwaneLex.


To obtain your free upgrade (NB: NOT AVAILABLE YET - this will be rolled out in the coming months), simply use the "Help/Check for updates" menu option as usual - once your license gets upgraded on our system, it should thereafter automatically redirect you to version 2012. Your existing 9-digit licenses numbers will still be applicable. (If you don't know your 9-digit license number, please use this form or contact us.)


Improvements in Version 2012


Improvements in version 2012 include performance and reliability improvements to the ODBC multi-user support, Mac ODBC support, a new 'Copy field' feature, 'Watch Folders' for auto-importing, various new command-line parameters for more advanced application control and scripting, new error checks, improvements to the Character Tool, and more. Improvements to tlCorpus include support for HTML files, Microsoft Word and PDF files (Windows-only), and various additional new commands. (See the changelog for more details.)
