Thanks Robin, Good to know.
Regards Dale Fraser http://dalefraser.blogspot.com -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robin Hilliard Sent: Monday, 25 June 2007 3:01 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion Upgrade Protection Hi Dale, The 2 year maintenance renewal is usually around the same price as the upgrade - for instance on Harris Technology CF Standard (entry level TLP) is $1763, the two year CF Standard renewal is $757, the one year CF Standard renewal is $378 and the 6->7 CF Standard upgrade is $776. You get the advantage of predictable upgrade costs and get a chance to potentially get two upgrades for the price of one if you buy at the right time. RocketBoots' own Pam (and I'm sure other quality resellers on this list :-) can normally beat Harris on CF pricing. If you're getting a lot of upgrades at once you will probably qualify for better volume discount levels too - make sure whoever you buy it from is familiar with the Adobe TLP program.
