Software Maintenance Agreements (SMA)

The Valentin Software Maintenance Agreement (SMA) that automatically comes with new programs and updates is changing as of 1st October 2024. As such existing agreements can no longer be extended. Existing SMAs remain valid and new programs/updates/upgards will still come with 6 months inlcuded maintenance. Whilst valid, a SMA ensures you will be working with the latest version of programs such as PV*SOL, T*SOL & GeoT*SOL. This does not affect Kesa aladin programs. SMAs offer access to regular automatic database updates and means that free updates to new program versions will be sent to you as they are released. In the case of Valentin-Software products a new rental licensing will begin in November 2024.


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  • Without a SMA it's possible that your designs may be out of date without you realising it.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 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.

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.

Please note:

Legacy programs that were purchased over three years ago are usually no longer economic for back-dating a SMA so an update will be offered instead.

So how do I buy the SMA?

It is no longer possible to renew/extend a previous Valentin-Software maintenance agreement.

Important:

Changes to the license model for PVSOL premium, PVSOL, TSOL, and GeoTSOL are coming later in 2024.
