Do you want to upgrade your license to take advantage of all the new exciting features in BBj® and Visual PRO/5® but you forgot to renew the SAM and don't want to deal with re-instatement fees? This promotion is perfect for you.

Effective October 16, 2006 through January 31, 2007, BASIS International Ltd. offers a promotional product license that gives BBx® developers the opportunity to deliver their business application software as a service and at a reduced price.

This promotion gives BASIS customers the opportunity to exchange an existing license, for this new license appropriately named SaaS (software as a service). Like the new rental license announced in yesterday's Marketing Communiqué MC-06007, this license renews annually and is available in all BASIS license types - standard, enterprise, or combo license - and includes SAM software maintenance coverage. At the end of each year, simply renew SAM through b-commerce® for another year's use of the license.

To exchange an existing license; purchase SAM coverage for the time that lapsed from the expiration date plus SAM for one additional year. BASIS customers interested in a permanent license should follow the terms of Upgrade Policy, priced the same as this promo plus a reinstatement fee of 12% of the list price of a new license.

Act today and take advantage of the new features and functions in the latest BASIS DBMS, object-oriented language, and powerful RAD tools at a lower cost.

Offer valid in the US and international reseller territories and excludes international distributor territories.
