Lease & Maintenance Policy

All Leases contain Technical Support for entire duration of the lease. Lease renewal will include free updates and unlimited access to our Technical Support services (within reason).

For Perpetual Licenses, Technical Support is obtained through a Maintenance contract which is usually renewed annually. Renewal will include free updates.

Maintenance Rates:
The standard maintenance rate is 20% of the replacement value of a perpetual license (per year). For products that are receiving lower levels of development this rate may be reduced to somewhere in the range 10%-15% depending on the level of development. Please enquire for the exact rates for your license.
