Subscription Licensing What's New in v4.4 Active Client Bonuses Benefits of Subscription Plan Frequently Asked Questions |
New Subscription-Based Licensing
The new Software Subscription Plan allows our clients to utilize our family of enterprise-class solutions without incurring the high cost of a one-time, upfront perpetual license fee. This convenient plan provides the option to bundle our solutions, software licenses, major version upgrades, ongoing maintenance, and Tech-Care Support Plan into an all-inclusive annual fee. Clients now have the flexibility to account and pay for licenses annually, based on the number of authorized users they need to support.

Client Benefits of the Yearly Software Subscription Plan
· Greater Flexibility and Simplicity: The Plan simplifies software license management. Renewable on a yearly basis, the Plan allows clients the flexibility to add more software licenses at any time during the subscription year. Additional licenses are pro-rated from the anniversary date of the subscription. To ensure price protection and save money, clients may also enter into longer-term agreements. Please contact us for details.
· Reduced Risk: The Plan reduces risk by allowing clients to re-evaluate our solutions annually to ensure that they consistently meet their requirements. Our subscription-based plan ensures accountability and quality control.
· Increased Value: Throughout the subscription year, clients have real-time access to new releases, product enhancements, and major version upgrades. MailScope allows our Tech Care team to monitor trends, identify problems, and proactively respond to situations before they arise. Other benefits include the new WebAccess and Post Office virus scanning engines, a free upgrade to the Linux version of GWGuardian later this year, as well as access to future module add-ons, such as encryption, at no extra charge.
· Accounting: The Subscription-based Plan provides a cost-effective way for clients to recognize software licenses as business expenses rather than depreciating capital investments. This is a cost effective method of recognizing the corporate investement made in GWGuardian for premium enterprise-class email protection.
