You can get your U2 support directly through Rocket.
And then you can get your software support from anyone you choose.
You can then tell the vendor to take a flying leap :) Or more colorful
language

As a vendor, I have kept out of this, having a vested interest.
Nearly 30 years ago, we did an intellectual property swap with the then
owners of MANFACT, and have continued developing and supplying our product
since. We call it Beacon for Business.
We believe the income we enjoy from our

I have a potential issue coming up. Our CFO seems to want to be more penny
pinching than normal and is trying to get us to discontinue our support from
our main vendor (We currently use ManFact from EpiCor). This seems like a
REALLY bad idea, but it keeps coming up. Can I get some outside opinions

You should end support because it would give more independent contractors a job.

I can understand your concern and also the reasoning of your boss.
Since you are dealing with Epicor cancelling the maintenance for ManFact

just note, by the book, your u2 licenses which are sold as embedded product
are nontransferable - by the book.
that's not to say you can't outright go buy new u2 licenses - but again,

hey marc, how's that SAP installation going?
