Pricing

At EcofIT, we believe in transparency and straight-talk, which is why we are one of the few IBM i software vendors that are willing to tell you the price up-front.

 

ChangefITTM is priced per serial number:

  • regardless of the number of users
  • regardless of the processor

As of release of DeskfITTM v1.12, ChangefITTM v2.32, XrefITTM v1.24, each product will be chargeable and will no longer be free. The current versions as at 31 March 2011 (DeskfITTM v1.11, ChangefITTM v2.31, XrefITTM v1.23) will remain free, but no support will be provided once superceded.

 

The good news though, is that customers that have a current Upgrade Plan (previously known as Upgrade Facility) for a specific product will not have to purchase that product. In addition, customers that have a current Upgrade Plan for a specific product as at 01 April 2011 may convert immediately to a maintenance plan for that product.

 

 

There are two types of purchase methods to obtain EcofIT products.

 

Direct Purchase Plan

This plan allows the customer to purchase a permanent license for one of the EcofIT products. There is no provision on this plan to upgrade the product or receive any fixes or patches.

 

A customer may also optionally purchase a Maintenance Plan to allow for quality support and the seamless application of any fixes or upgrades to the product as they are released. The Maintenance Plan runs for one year and is payable whether there are releases or not, but is cheaper than the Upgrade Facility.

 

Upgrade Plan

The existing Upgrade Plan will continue but with two major changes:

  • If no release containing an upgrade or a new feature (i.e. BugFix'es are excluded) for one calendar year, the Upgrade Facility will be extended for one year without charge. 
  • The minimum period of an Upgrade Plan before which one may choose to convert an Upgrade Plan to a Maintenance Plan is two years.
