Unitec
Informatik is specialized in the development of system extensions and
programming tools for the Unix and Windows NT/95/98 operating system
environments. Our products are integrated into many different
application software packages and therefore require to have superior
quality and to be subject of careful release planning.
The
high degree of reliability of Unitec products can only be achieved by
the use of state of the art test and debug tools as well as rigid
verification of even minor changes and extensions. In order to cover
the cost of these improvements, we have to charge a fee for upgrades.
Prices are dependent on the extent of the changes made as well as on
the age of the upgraded license. The following table serves as a
guideline:

Each
Unitec software license is issued for the use on one single computer
system only. For any use on another computer system, e.g. on an
upgrade to a more powerful CPU or a sidegrade to another model, a new
license has to be purchased.
In
order to make cost of ownership predictable, Unitec offers an upgrade
subscription for all its products. The price of the subscription is
12.5% of the current sales price per year and includes upgrades to new
versions free of charge as well as a price reduction of 30% on each
system update or sidegrade. The subscription may be bought during the
30 day warranty period or after each paid upgrade and will renew
automatically for the period of another year without written notice
before expiration.
Once
a new release is available, all our distributors, the local
representatives and - upon request - the owner of the subscription are
informed by e-mail. In addition, their availability is published on
our Web site.
