Annual Support Contracts

An Annual Support Contract begins on the date that your software license is purchased, or on the date that the previous year's Annual Support Contract expires, and lasts for 12 months.  It includes:

bulletA limited warranty for the software product 
bulletSoftware updates and upgrades for the product during the contract term
bulletAbility to trade in the product for an even more powerful Solver product of the same type
bulletAccess to protected support pages on our site
bulletTechnical support by phone and email  
bulletUp to 15 minutes of consulting assistance arising during the contract term

Please click on Annual Support Contracts - Specifics for descriptions of these services.

An Annual Support Contract for the first 12 months is required with the purchase of a software license.  After the first 12 months, Annual Support is optional, but is highly recommended.  Frontline Systems continually enhances and upgrades its software products, and a current Annual Support Contract is the only way to receive product upgrades.  Please click on Support/Upgrades: Summary Terms/Prices for specific support contract prices.

Software Licenses Without Support

If a user's Annual Support Contract expires, the user receives:

bulletNo warranty as to the functionality and performance of the product
bulletNo upgrades to future versions of the product
bulletNo trade-ins for more powerful products

"Catching Up" on Support

Users without Annual Support Contracts who later wish to upgrade to a new release of a software product, or start taking advantage of our support services, are required to "catch up" by paying the Annual Support Contract prices currently in effect, for the full period from the date that any previous support contract lapsed until 12 months beyond the current date.
