operating system! <wry smile at this point>

The Mapics ALF is not optional.  With some other packages the annual charges
allow you to gain access to the developer's technical support team and to
receive periodic code updates.  The Mapics ALF is an annual "license to use"
the product.  In other words, there is not an option to stop paying ALF and
remain at your current code level.  What a deal...

I am not sure what the license agreement is with MAPICS, but what about
this.  Lets say that I no longer want to pay the ALF's (don't even get me
started on those) and just continue running at the software level we are
currently at?  From what the license screen indicates, we would be "locked
out" of MAPICS.

Other comments we have heard when users start seeing that screen 1). MIS did
not do their job correctly  2). The company is not paying it's bills.

Maybe someone at MAPICS is reading all these emails & can request that the
change be made to send the messages to qsysopr.
