Technical Support Renewals

You can purchase continued support for an additional fee of 15% of the original purchase price per year. This rate remains constant while you continue to renew your SupportPlus Service annually ***. Renewals are generally purchased on an annual basis. Contract expiry dates can be adjusted to align with your budget year or to align the contracts of multiple licenses.

This is an optional service and may not always be deemed necessary for all VTScada customers. Customers without a current service contract may purchase service at standard hourly rates. Multi-year contracts are available. Contact us for information

SCADA Software Upgrades

Our software development team provides frequent minor product releases to provide customers quick access to new features as they become available. Additionally, new Windows operating systems and service packs often drive significant changes to the core VTScada product.

Customers with up-to-date SupportPlus Service contracts may download any VTScada product release from Trihedral’s FTP server and may upgrade to the latest version at any time. Customers choosing not to maintain their service contracts may only upgrade to VTScada releases created before their contract expiry date.

Trihedral strives to maintain backwards compatibility. This allows you to upgrade your VTScada version without altering your end-user application.

Product upgrades do not entitle customers to new components sold separately as optional VTScada features.

If you purchased VTScada through a System Integrator

Annual SupportPlus Service quotes will be sent directly to the integrator who installed your VTScada application. They are responsible for relaying them to you. If you do not receive annual quotes, you can contact Trihedral directly.
