expensive Maintenance in order to have access to bugs fixed

Post by lzmihich » Mon Jul 01, 2013 12:32 am

Sent it trough the Customer Portal, while I am still on maintenance.
Decided to make it Public on this forum , too.

I received an overdue warning of payment for maintenance,expiring 6th July.
in short , too expensive for me, now, and I am not Digital Domain (pun intended)
more like a freelance Artist, and Thousand dollars a year is too much.
I have already a Realflow 2013 license and RFRK 2013 license.
The e-mail sent to me said I'll no longer alowed, to log in here,
and I can't have access to any patch or correction for the bugs in RF2013 ?
really ? deny my right to update the same version of the software I've paid for ?
even thougth I am a licensed user ?
That sounds unlawful to me.
And I am not using Realflow 2013, imediately for my Production.
Please clarify this.

Hi. Can't help you with the logging in issue but when you bought a Rf license (I presume 2012), you bought it with a year maintenance which entitles you to major updates (2012 > 2013) and patches (2 major patches per year I think). However, if your maintenance runs out before the new patch then I doubt there's anything you can do about it.

No offence intended to NL but they'll probably just direct you to the T&C's because you bought a 1 year maintenance.

Or have I misunderstood your issue?
