I think Support and Maintenance is just another way for them to make $$$.

Will there be any plan to upgrade D2007 Enterprise SA to HL _Architect_ SA? Or ECO State Chart diagrams will be in Enterprise?

> So why is SA USD750 to US users and GBP450 = USD900 to UK users? Is your UK customer base so strong that you can rip them off like this? Re: Robert Love’s post- in the CodeRage event it was definately stated that D2007 included all releases this year and I understood this to include for the Studio. After all D2007 is priced like it was the Studio isn’t it?.

Yes, if you choose Software Assurance for D2007 you get studio level SA which means you will get all Delphi updates (win32 and .NET) in the 12 month S/A period.

Regarding the pricing, I will forward to our UK office. I am not the pricing person.

I am using MSIE7 and Firefox2 and my blog posts and comments look okay on my monitor and three other notebooks in my office. Will see what I might do. Anyone else have any advice?

For Delphi 2007 for Win32 we are offering Studio Support and Maintenance. There is no Delphi Win32 only Support and Maintenance option at the time of this blog post. The following image shows a sample shopping cart for a Delphi 2007 for Win32 Enterprise Upgrade order with Software Assurance.

I have updated my blog post with additional text and also additional bitmap examples.

Thanks for the comment and question.

I am a bit confused...

I have been telling users group members that Delphi 2007 was part of the Studio Line, and if you purchased Delphi 2007 with S/A you would get the Highlander release with all of the products. Now it appears I was mistaken, I suspect I am not the only one.

I guess it depends on what version of S/A you purchase.

As an existing customer with S/A on Delphi 2007 how do I know which "S/A" that I have?

Is this new Studio -vs- just the product line S/A new with C++ Builder?

Leslie:

We renew it every year, and we get all the product upgrades - it’s included. This is for the architect version, but I’ll be surprised if it is any different for other SKU’s.

If I buy SA can I renew it next year or do I need to buy the product upgrade also?
