All XMLmind products will maintained and possibly enhanced normally until April 3, 2027. After this date, they'll all be discontinued. A few months later, XMLmind Software will definitely close.

Please find below the answers to some of the questions you may have. If you have other questions or need some clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact us at mailto:[email protected] .

- Why are you discontinuing your products and closing XMLmind Software?

The software engineers in charge with the development of our products will all be —hopefully happy— retirees by April 3, 2027.

- Do I have to stop using the XMLmind product I have purchased after April 3, 2027?

No. All our licenses are perpetual. Feel free to use the XMLmind product you have purchased for as long as you wish.

- My business really depends on some of your products. How can I keep using a product which is no longer maintained by its developer?

We are really sorry to cause these problems. Some of our products come with their full source code, namely:

        * 20 units or more of xe-usr, XML Editor - User License
        * xe-site, XML Editor - Site License
        * xe-corp, XML Editor - Corporate License
        * xe-dev, XML Editor - Developer License.
* 3 units or more of fc-srv, XSL-FO Converter for Java Server License or fcn-srv, XSL-FO Converter for .NET Server License * fc-site, XSL-FO Converter for Java Site License or fcn-site, XSL-FO Converter for .NET Site License * fc-dev, XSL-FO Converter for Java Developer License or fcn-dev, XSL-FO Converter for .NET Developer License
        * 3 units or more of wx-srv, Word To XML Server License
        * wx-site, Word To XML Site License
        * wx-dev, Word To XML Developer License

We suggest to purchase one of the above licenses (unless you already own it, of course) in order to obtain the full, most recent, source code of the product.

This source code is written in Java™, one of the most commonly used programming language. It is clearly written, sensibly commented, well documented and well tested. We exclusively use English to write our code (comments, variable names, etc). It should not be difficult for an in-house or a hired independent programmer to maintain this code.

- Do you intend to open source your discontinued products?

    No.

- I would like to acquire the intellectual property rights of one of your products in order to develop it and market it under my own brand. Who should I contact?
