Support agreement

Support

This includes prompt turnaround on all problem reports, periodic updates with corrections and minor releases with improvements. During the first month after delivery support is provided at no additional charge, thereafter there is a fee.

Updates for customers with support

G&R products are qualified for the platforms on which they run, or to which they connect, at the time of the release of the G&R product. Subsequent updates or upgrades of the platform can introduce incompatibilities, causing failure of the G&R product through no fault of its own. Problems of this kind are solved by releasing an update to the G&R product that has been qualified with the new platform, for as long as G&R support the G&R product and the platform. These updates are provided at no charge to the customers with support agreements.

Please note that a support agreement must be entered into and the fee paid from installation onwards. You cannot enter into a support agreement later if you meet a problem and need an update, in the same way as you cannot buy insurance after an accident.

Customers without a support agreement must license a new version of the G&R product to solve problems caused by updates or upgrades to the platform on which the G&R product runs, or is connected.

Discounts for customers with support

License extensions are available at significant discounts. This gives important savings when extending a large license that has a heavy volume discount, since the same discount is applied to the extension.

Upgrades are also discounted. This preserves your original investment, and allows migration to a more powerful or functional version at a lower cost.
