It may very well be something that computer centers would want to enroll in to make sure that their site license is up to date with the most current version of a WP Corp product.... #: 124862 S10/WPCorp News/Info 06-Feb-89 13:37:54 Sb: Software Subscription Fm: Pete Peterson (WPCorp) 72067,3552 To: All Software Subscription Service WPCorp announces a software subscription service for all authorized customers of WPCorp PC software products. Anyone purchasing the service will automatically receive every interim and major release of any of our PC software products, including updates to the manuals, within 5 working days of a new release. A person desiring the service should 1) call the WordPerfect Software Subscription Hotline (801 222-1400), 2) give the hotline operator a Visa number, Mastercard number, or send in an open P.O. or a $200 deposit to WP Software Subscription, 1555 N. Technology Way, Orem, Utah 84057, 3) give their name, address, phone number and product registration number(s), and 4) designate which products they want. WordPerfect will 1) send all interim releases of software with software change notices, any new printing of the documentation, and all major updates with new documentation within five working days of release, and 2) charge the customer standard rates based on the number of diskettes sent, or the cost of the documentation.* Diskette Prices For 5 1/4" Media For 3 1/2" Media 1-5 Diskettes are $10 1-2 Diskettes are $10 6 Diskettes are $11 3 Diskettes are $12.50 7 Diskettes are $12 4 Diskettes are $15.00 Each extra add $1 Each extra add $2.50 Documentation Prices Documentation cost will be based on the size of the manual, and the cost to produce it. Documentation prices will generally be between $10 and $30 dollars per manual. New Updates New releases (or updates) of product will be priced at the standard, published update pricing. All orders will be charged a $5.00 fee to cover the cost of the software change notices and the special handling. Express shipment may be requested, and will be charged on a per shipment basis. Product will not be shipped if an account is overdue, or if a verification number cannot be received from Visa or Mastercard. Prices my change without notice, and this service may be discontinued at any time by WPCORP. A customer may cancel the service at any time. * Note: All prices are in U.S. dollars. Canadian customers will pay a $10 (U.S.) shipping and handling fee per order and are responsible for all duties and taxes. --------------------------------------- #: 124986 S10/WPCorp News/Info 06-Feb-89 23:24:14 If you have a bug, you could request the latest stuff for free, but if you were signed up for the service you would also get the other copy. I think the service will be attractive to corporate support centers, consultants, training centers, and others who support many users and need a library of all the versions available and all reprints of the documentation. I don't think it's a great idea for individuals. Now that 5.0 is very stable and 5.1 promises to be a much easier update to test and learn, I doubt that a normal user would want to install every release.
