And the ones that tax the system should pay more. Maybe we should make this discussion political J
What product are we talking about btw? I know VMWare tried to pull this same thing on us. From: Andrew S.

We did not renew our support with them after we had it for 3 years, because we never needed it. Three years later when we wanted to upgrade to a current version, we got hit with 3 years of past support plus the current year and one additional year, even though we never needed a darn thing. Again, it is time to renew, but we have no plans on using the support for another 3+ years. Ugh!

I don't understand why you think it wouldn't be legal as nothing says they have to reinstate you at all. Playing Devil's Advocate here, it's highly likely that if you're in a position to need to be reinstated, it's because something has gone wrong and is likely to be expensive for them. ________________________________ From: Jeff Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 03, 2010 5:59 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Rediculous Support Clause Here is a clause in an agreement that I have never understood nor agreed with. I am curious if it is even legal??? In the event You desire support to be reinstated following expiration, You agree: 1) to pay a reinstatement fee equal to the current annual support fee and any unpaid support fees from the date of expiration to the date of reinstatement; and 2) to pay for at least one additional year of support services from the date of reinstatement.
