Update:

The SSAGT price has now changed to 2 years back maintenance and reduced 
maintenance fee for this year and a key.   Does anyone have a similar 
experiences?

Good Day fellow BPCS users,

We have used BPCS since 1993 and are currently using 405CD.  We paid OGS 
for 10 years.

Since we had no plans to upgrade after 405CD, we cancelled our OGS and 
moved to Named user pricing several years ago.  We have maintained our 
license for named users per our agreement.

Now, we need to upgrade our processor.  We were informed by our SSAGT rep 
that we would have to pay for one year maintenance (plus tax) in order to 
receive a key for the upgrade.

This seems like an unreasonable amount of money, considering the product 
is no longer being updated or significantly improved.   We currently pay 
'right to use' fees to other vendors, that are far less as a % of purchase 
$.

Has anyone been in this situation and would you share you result?  If you 
prefer,  feel free to contact me at the number below.
