Hi, Andy. If PDI came up with a new board, I don't think that the
maintenance agreement would pay for that. I think it just covers incase
something goes wrong. The software SMA pays for the next version or two of
the software or upgrade from keysoft 5 to 6. But I don't think that if I
paid 500 dollars for a hardware maintenance agreement that that would cover
if and when PDI comes out with a new board or other new hardware upgrade. I
could be wrong, but that is how it was explained to me by someone at humanware.
