The software subscription service program was completely changed shortly after
it was announced in the WPCORP Report.  They have abandoned the billing and
deposit route.  They have now just set flat rates and tiers of service costing
between $200 and $600 for the IBM and $200 for the Macintosh.  These tiers
consist of just updates, interims with or without documentation and so on...
I signed up with an open purchase order and then they changed the whole
program.  WordPerfect calls it "Cost Levelling" now.  For more information and
the new subscription service procedures you may want to contact Kelly Argyle.
She is in charge of the WP Software Subscription Service Accounting/Orders.
She can be reached at (801) 222-2632.  I never found about the change because
she sent the change notice to our accounting office.  They called and asked
me to approve the large single payment instead of the "as you go" guidelines
that the old plan was to follow.  Good Luck!   I have not yet received my
WP 5.1 interim...and I AM "paid-up" under the new guidelines.
