yes, Rusty. I am happy with Aptare, but my management doesn't want to spend a dime on the Aptare renewal anymore, why pay for something that you can get free, and you can argue and show all the value, it is all about to save money for the company.
I want to see if we can try other Aptare products, like Capacity manager and another VM Manager.
