(2) Full Seats - Every purchase comes with (2) full seats ... additional seats are responsibly priced at 50% of the individual title's list price.
No Maintenance Agreements - We are constantly revising and enhancing our software. However, we never charge or software maintenance and all product upgrades are in the $95 range.
Unlimited Tech Support - All our software comes with unlimited technical email and voice support. Our software and the support HELP files are designed to be used in the trenches by real people so our support calls are very minimum
Priced Responsibly - From LITE versions to FULL versions to the ability to combine titles into Suites and Studios for savings ... our responsible pricing structure gives you the ability to get the power you need at a price that quarantees a quick return on your investment.
