By maintaining annual APPX Bronze Level Support, customers are provided with ongoing Software Update Coverage, which ensures that they will have access to the latest versions, releases, and patches, and are able to use the latest tools to enhance their applications for the benefit of their users.
At the same time, these customers protect their software investment by guaranteeing its compatibility with up-to-date hardware and other software products. And the innovative design of the APPX runtime environment allows applications to automatically inherit new functionality with each new release of APPX. As enhancements are made available and occasional bugs discovered and fixed, customers can integrate those updates only by downloading the newest copy of APPX.
Additionally, all supported customers have access to the Online Customer Support System to obtain emergency licenses in the event of a system-down emergency situation, and are entitled to membership in the APPX Support mail list, and have 24/7 access to the APPX Bug Tracker Database (formerly ECR System), a repository of enhancement requests and bug reports for APPX developers and users.
Customers whose Bronze Level Support has lapsed may reinstate their annual coverage, or may purchase a Per Incident Software Update to get the latest software versions. Contact your APPX reseller, or APPX Software, Inc., for specific pricing for your situation.
Maintenance expiration dates are shown on your APPX License Key, alongside product code MNT. Any version of APPX with a later release date than the expiration of maintenance will not run.
