Software Maintenance Agreements (SMA)

The Valentin Software licesning has changed and the old perpetual licenses with Maintenance Agreements (SMA) are no longer available.

Existing Valentin SMAs will remain valid until their expiry. But from 19th November 2024 new programs will only be offered as a user rental license.

User-rentals and existing SMAs whilst valid ensure you will be working with the latest version of programs such as PV*SOL, T*SOL & GeoT*SOL.

Kesa aladin programs with SMAa will remain. 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.

What are the advantages of having a user-rental or 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.
  • With rentals it's an easier way to manage multiple licence holdings and swap user machines.
  • Without a rental or SMA it's possible that your designs may be out of date without you realising it.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 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 no longer has a valid rental or SMA in place. So either a program-switch or Kesa SMA backdated renewal will be 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 switch or SMA back-dating.

So how do I buy the SMA?

It is no longer possible to renew/extend a previous Valentin-Software maintenance agreement. WIth Kesa it's included in the initial purchase or can be back-dated/renewed.

Important:

The license model for PVSOL premium, PVSOL, TSOL, and GeoTSOL are rental and no longer perpetual.
