Hi Shaz, that's correct, as there is only one Classic release left after 7.2, and an SMA gives you two releases, you may purchase the final KeySoft release for the Classic as an individual purchase.

Will we have to pay full price for it? I have one SMA count left for both my VN and BN classics and I can't afford to transplant my BN at the moment because I am buying a PK. I have sold the VN so I would also like to tell the person that is buying it what is going on. Thanks, >From Shaz. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 8:35 PM Subject: [Braillenote] An Important Message for BrailleNote and VoiceNoteClassic owners SUPPORT FOR BRAILLENOTE AND VOICENOTE CLASSIC In June 2005, HumanWare released the next generation of information management systems for the blind, BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower. To thank our loyal customer base for their support, we made two commitments. Firstly, because we appreciate that funding for assistive technology may only be available to an individual once every few years, we undertook to release new versions of Key Soft for the BrailleNote and VoiceNote Classic for as long as possible. Secondly, we introduced our extremely popular transplant programme, allowing BrailleNote Classic customers the chance to have our latest technology for around a third of the cost of a new unit in the case of those owning 32-cell models. The transplant programme will continue into the foreseeable future , giving customers access to the many benefits available exclusively on BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower. However, as we start to plan for exciting future enhancements to KeySoft, it is becoming clear that many of the features we wish to add are not technically possible on the Classic platform. On that basis, HumanWare is giving notice that KeySoft 7.2 will be the second to last upgrade available for the Classic family. There will be a final update for BrailleNote classic released next year. For this reason, once KeySoft 7.2 is released, software maintenance agreements will no longer be available for the BrailleNote and VoiceNote Classic. We wish to stress that technical support and servicing will still be available for BrailleNote Classic, which continues to be a powerful information management tool. Please also note that should you take advantage of the transplant programme, any counts remaining on your Software maintenance Agreement will be transferred to your BrailleNote mPower. Should you have any queries, as always, please don?t hesitate to contact your nearest HumanWare office.
