ITP Support Information

Introduction

This documents outlines the end of marketing, end of maintenance and end of extended support dates for ITP products.
We distinguish the following important end-of dates:

  • End of Marketing: From this moment the Product cannot be purchased anymore. End of marketing is primarily applicable to upgrades (additional licenses for a previously purchased Product) as new software purchases will usually be for the latest release.
  • End of Maintenance: From this moment Aia Software no longer maintains the Product. Maintenance means providing defect support, fixes, updates, helpdesk support etc. Please refer to the maintenance contract for more information.
  • End of Extended Support: During Extended Support Aia Software is not obliged to research a problem. Any activities during Extended Support may be charged for.

Although maintenance and extended support is provided for older releases, as can be seen from the tables below, Aia Software advices its customers to upgrade to a new version within 6 months after its release.
