A course I purchased was replaced. Do I get the new version?

A course I purchased was replaced. Do I get the new version?

As technology develops, we occasionally archive courses and add replacement versions to Zenva Academy. While subscribers always get access to the latest courses on our platform automatically, this is not the case for users who purchase a course individually or through bundle sites like Humble Bundle, Fanatical, or similar.

Though these types of course purchases come with lifetime access, they also come as-is. Newer replacement courses are a separate product from the originals, and as such, are not provided for free in this case. This said, even when archived, you can continue to access your original course purchase via your Purchased Courses page. Additionally, please note that the reason for archival varies, and that not all courses are archived due to outdated materials. As such, your purchase can still come with plenty of good learning opportunities even if a newer version is available.

For more information on our archival process, please see the articles below:
