Beginning March 1^st the cost of annual maintenance renewals will increase slightly. The price of software, including first year of maintenance, is not changing. Firms receiving invoices for maintenance expiring in March will see these changes when getting their renewal notices over the next week.

On March 1^st, this change will also affect quotes that include update prices, and those showing maintenance renewal costs after the first year. Providing prospects with a forcing event can often motivate a firm to purchase.  Be sure to follow up with clients thinking about purchasing an update. These new prices will be found here on eNews under Marketing, Pricing, Reseller Pricing beginning February 1st.
