The Striker Technology Assurance Program provides you with quick-and-easy access to the latest Striker software, tools, and information. It is an annual subscription that guarantees the latest releases of your Striker software will be sent directly to you within 30 days of customer ship.

The Technology Assurance Program is for all Striker Systems customers in the US and Canada.

• Convenience: Automatic delivery of upgrades and updates means you never have to worry about purchasing, budgeting for, or tracking down new releases.
• Productivity: Your subscription increases your productivity by giving you early access to the latest, most powerful software. Included are full running "trial versions" off all Striker products.
• mplementation Control: Free delivery of upgrades separates the implementation decision from the purchase decision, allowing you to implement your Striker software when the time is right.
• Cost Planning: The Technology Assurance Program eliminates the uncertainty usually associated with upgrade budgeting.

You will receive all minor updates and major upgrades released during the term of your subscription. Striker Systems has historically released minor updates every 90 to 120 days and major upgrades every 12 to 18 months.

Many software companies require their customers to purchase their maintenance program to maintain the latest software release. Often penalties are even assessed if the maintenance program lapses. Striker Systems does not force the Technology Assurance Program. Rather, it is offered as an alternative method of upgrading for customers who prefer this structure.

Yes, Striker software upgrades can still be purchased as released. However, this method of upgrading does not provide the additional benefits of the Technology Assurance Program.

The Technology Assurance Program can be purchased with or without telephone support. Telephone support may also be purchased separately.

In surveys and market validation meetings, customers expressed that they were not always interested in purchasing bundled support and maintenance contracts from Striker Systems. Many Striker customers are self-sufficient and have a variety of support sources available (resellers, other users, the Internet).

There are a couple of requirements for joining

• You must own the current version of the product for each license you put on subscription. For example, if you are on Release 12 of a Striker product you cannot join the Technology Assurance program and expect to get the latest release. You must be on the current release when you join the program.
• All seats of a network license must be put on subscription

No. You can only purchase a subscription for the current shipping version of the software. Older versions of software must be updated to the latest shipping version before the Technology Assurance Program can be added.

This is not a requirement of the Technology Assurance Program. However, the upgrades and add-ons delivered under the Technology Assurance Program can only be used in conjunction with licenses that are on subscription.

Yes. New seats can be added to a subscription at any time. They are synchronized with the anniversary date of the original contract, prorated quarterly.

Yes. At the end of each year you can decrease the number of seats or completely cancel the contract.

Payment for initial subscription orders will be made directly to Striker Systems. Bills for subsequent years of coverage will be sent to you annually by Striker Systems, approximately 30 days prior to the anniversary date of your subscription agreement.

Approximately 30 days prior to the anniversary date of your subscription agreement, Striker Systems will send you notifications confirming the number of licenses under subscription and the price for your next year of coverage.
