New DMC Software Maintenance Plan

Software Maintenance Plan is a subscription service added to your existing DMC license and current SMP, whereas an upgrade license is a one off (allowing you to renew your expired old MP or SMP for 1 year). Software Maintenance is bought on a yearly basis and once bought, customers will be protected for all upgrades on any release, as well as enjoying the priority email support. Upgrade License is for customers who did not subscribe to the software maintenance plan or who let their old MP or SMP expire but want to upgrade their license to the latest release and also enjoy a 1year SMP. The upgrade license price is 50% of the new license price, whereas for Software Maintenance Plan it is as low as 25% of the license price. As a comparison with the old prices: the Enterprise level 1 year renewal is _lowered by 20%_ (saving you nearly 30$) and the Runtime Engine one is at the same price (unchanged since over 18 months). Up to January 15 2012 you will be able to renew (instead of an upgrade) at the new price and to _save_ 50%!

BSIdent 1.4

BSIdent now has optional checkbox to remove GUID from TXA's and TXD's. Removing TXA GUID's reverts newer C7/C8 apps back to C6 apps, as well as resolving dictionary conflicts and misalignment when changing dictionaries in C7/C8. This does not address adding new controls/features such as Slider control, etc. that are not available in C6. Do Not remove GUID from the C7/C8 txd's, as they lose their links for keys and relationships.
