Please see the [[CNC Bender Software Maintenance Plan]]
Advanced Tubular Technologies offers a Software Maintenance Plan that can be purchased on an annual basis.  Each initial CNC Bender license includes one year software maintenance plan.

These are answers for questions you may have regarding our software maintenance plan.

="Why should I purchase the software maintenance plan?"=
+
Software maintenance gives each license purchaser two important features:

<font size=3>Automatic Updates</font>
+
</td>

<td width>
+
You have purchased access to software updates for one year.  You have also purchased updates to new manuals in the PDF format.  We notify all VTube customers on an e-mail broadcast list that will automatically notify you when an update is available.  Each update requires a unique password that we will share with you when you request it.

</td>
+
<td>
+
You have purchased access to technical support for one year.  We will take your calls to help you with software questions or issues without asking you to purchase our LogMeIn Rescue service plan.

+
<font size=3>Cost Savings</font>
+
</td>
+
<td>
+
If your company is pro-active when it comes to keeping up-to-date software in its systems, then this can be a real cost savings.  Your price for a year of support is 20% of the listed price of the software.  If we were to make trips to your plant to perform scheduled upgrades, then your company does not pay the current hourly price for on-site service.  It only pays for expenses related to the trip.  This will save thousands per day.

="How do you track Software Maintenance Plans?"=
+
 
+
Each key has an integer value that is unique to that key or dongle.  Advanced Tubular Technologies tracks licenses by that serial number.  You can access the key serial number any time by using our KeyCheck program.  We record and track the software maintenance plan linked to the serial number.  Our staff can share the term of the plan with you at any time through e-mail.  Please request the information from Dawne Baker at [email protected].

<br><br>
+
 
+
="How do I keep my maintenance agreement current?"=
+
 
+
Advanced Tubular Technologies keeps track of each maintenance subscription and will automatically notify you 120 days prior to your maintenance subscription expiration date and send you a quote 90 days prior to your maintenance subscription expiration date.
+
<br><br>
+
 
+
="When does the maintenance term start?"=
+
 
+
The start date for all maintenance programs starts when we e-mail you the hardware key activation code – then round forward to the start of the next month.
+
<br><br>
+
 
+
="What are the terms for Software Maintenance Plans?"=
+
 
+
If you purchase through a distributor like SMT, then the terms are what SMT offers.  If you purchase from Advanced Tubular, then the plan terms are “prepaid.”
+
<br><br>
+
 
+
="I have multiple licenses.  Do I need to purchase one plan for each license?"=
+
 
+
Yes - if you want to renew the plans annually.  Each license requires its own service plan.
+
<br><br>
+
 
+
="How many times a year will Advanced Tubular technicians visit for the upgrade?"=
+
 
+
Since upgrades must be performed on-site, we will commit to visiting at least one time per year if you can commit to paying for the travel expense to your site.
