We offer optional support contracts in combination with a new product license, or to renew an existing support contract. Customers with an active support contract will benefit from the following advantages:
technical support with short response times
all minor (maintenance) and major (functional) updates included
early availability of bug fixes
maintenance releases and technical support available until the end of a product’s lifetime
additional licenses can be purchased until the end of the product's lifetime
For a detailed description of support benefits please refer to our General License and Support Conditions. The support fee is 18% of the license fee per year.
Support contracts can optionally be renewed automatically every 12 months until the support is explicitly terminated by the customer. In order to terminate a support agreement with automatic renewal please inform us one month before the support expires.
An update changes an older license to a license for a newer version on the same platform, thereby invalidating the old license. A valid license key must be supplied with each update order. The following table indicates the fees for updates as a percentage of the target product’s list price:
To | Update from TET PDF IFilter 3 | ||
TET PDF IFilter 4.1 | 60% of the target product's list price | ||
Customers with an active support agreement are eligible for a free update to TET PDF IFilter 4.1. The free update must be requested during the active period of the support agreement. For example, if you terminate your support agreement in October 2012, you can no longer request a free update after this date.
Volume discounts are available for multiple licenses of the same product according to the table below, provided all licenses are ordered with a single combined order.
