Software Maintenance Agreements (SMA)

What are the advantages of having the SMA?

• You get regular internet updates to your databases as they occur including modules, collectors, inverters, flues, boilers, etc.
• You get regular internet updates of new features for your programs as they occur.
• It's an easier way to manage the update process especially with multiple licence holdings.
• Without a SMA it's possible that your designs may be out of date without you realising it.

What are the details?

• For Valentin-Software the SMA costs around 18% of the advertised list price of the software typically paid once a year shown in the box below.
• For Kesa aladin it is a flat-rate for all programs @ EUR 248- (or your currency equivalent) per annum.
• Non-regular SMA purchases are always backdated to the last expiry date.

• New licences or updates of all Valentin-Software automatically comes with 6 months SMA.
• New licences or updates of all Kesa aladin automatically comes with 12 months SMA.
• The regular SMA renewal is only available for the current program versions.

What if I don't have the current version of the software?

Any customer who does not have the latest version of the software possibly has no SMA in place. So either a back-dated SMA or a program update will be first needed. Prices for these are available on request.
