FirstRate5^® Version 5.1.10 is now available as a free download

FirstRate5^® V5.1.10 contains new software features and enhancements, including a new method for generating certificates.

Users can choose to upgrade to Version 5.1.10 now or continue using V5.1.9c until the end of April 2014. However, users are strongly encouraged to download the latest version of the software and familiarise themselves with the new software features and certificate generation system before the next scheduled software release in April 2014.

There will be no fees or charges to issue certificates using Version 5.1.10 and they can be used for compliance purposes. When users purchase a certificate with this version it will show as a $0 charge. The certificate will also contain a Quick Response (QR) code to enable easy verification of certificates.

This new certificate generation system has the capability to be adapted to a fee per certificate payment system in future.

Sustainability Victoria will continue to consult with users and keep them informed of any proposed changes to FirstRate5 licensing terms or payment models.
