New filePro releases

[Bill Randall]

The USP has been discussed many times but where and when I cannot tell you. I just know we have many conversations about it with customers who ask.

I will check the website and make sure that it is available to the search engine.  I have already added it to the FAQ section of our website.

This might help.

"fP Tech offers an Update Subscription Program for those desiring to stay current on version releases even if those releases are in development or have become an official release.   Once enrolled in the USP, your license will be updated automatically when every developmental release of the next version is available.  New features being added will be completed and tested prior to the USP release.   In addition to the benefits of getting new features prior to the major release of a version, the USP customer gets credit for being a member of the program towards the next major release at which time they will get it free if they have been in the program for 3 years.   USP customers also take priority in any consideration and scheduling of new feature requests that they may have.   In addition, we continue to offer free support to all USP customers as long as their contract remains current."

Here is an example that may help.

     5.7.00 is released and a customer purchases the USP
     5.7.01 is released and that customer gets the release with the development new features
     same with 5.7.02
     same with 5.7.03
     5.8.00 comes out and the release cycle was 3 years, then the USP customer get 5.8.00 for free
     5.8.00 comes out and the release cycle was 2 years, then the USP customer gets 5.8.00 at a 66% discount
     5.8.00 comes out and the release cycle was 1 year, then the USP customer gets 5.8.00 at a 33% discount

We have many customers on the USP contracts and we continue to add them as they find this a great way to participate in the development process and budget their updates.  Most of the new features in the next major release of filePro come from the requests of this group.
