Tara, The one downfall of SMA is that they are only money efficient if it is purchased prior to the next upgrade. For example, if you purchase an SMA prior to KeySoft 8.0, then it will count for that upgrade including the one after that. But, if you purchase a SMA after KeySoft 8.0 is released, then you will being paying for an SMA that will be only effective for one upgrade.
