Hi,
We unfortunately found out that the store does not offer maintenance plans. They seemed to neglect telling us this when we were sending them all the things we wanted added to the store L However I would not be concerned about ordering maintenance early unless you have budget reasons to do so. If that is the case you should be able to buy it via a reseller.

Matt, Are the Flex 2 maintenance plans you blogged about available online from the Adobe store? I've browsed the store and I can't seem to locate those plans as individual products... -Ken From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Chotin Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 12:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: Flexbuilder 3 Release Estimate? FB3 will be released in early 2008. Usually the absolutely free upgrade is if you purchase within 30 days of the release. In this case I think you can expect that the upgrade price will be very very similar to the maintenance price. I would not be overly concerned about the beta 3 trial expiring. Ahem. As stated in another post, if you absolutely must have the watermark for ADG or the charting components removed you can contact me off-list.

Is this not the case this time? That means now they're essentially now charging for what used to be a free upgrade because you have to buy the maintenance plan to ensure you get the upgrade no charge. Anyone know definitively? Thanks, Jason
