Software maintenance and license changes

DC Software Maintenance Program

The OIM license prices include the 1st year of software maintenance program (from the date of purchase). This software maintenance contract is strongly recommended by us and is automatically renewed by 1 year if it is not terminated in writing 3 months before expiration. The costs for the software maintenance of the OIM Data Center licenses amount to 18% of the list prices per year and for the e3m boxes 18% per year of the list prices consisting of software. With OIM SaaS, the software maintenance and the installation of the current version on the server is included in the annual prices.

The maintenance program is purchased for the corresponding software licenses and is valid only for these licenses. The Maintenance Program is a Software Service subscription, valid for one year and includes:

  • Update of the OIM software during the validity period of 12 months The amount for the maintenance program must be paid annually in advance.

Regulations outside of software maintenance

  • express waiver of warranty
  • only access to the last available patches of the delivered software version
  • no more access to upgrades and major releases
  • License changes are no longer possible (data point expansion/additional users etc.)

Software Maintenance Resume:

  • The software maintenance can be resumed at any time, with retrospective payment for the software maintenance since the withdrawal from the standard software maintenance at a cost of 2% of the product list price per month outside of the software maintenance and the renewed conclusion of the standard software maintenance.


DC License Changes (Upgrade)

You can upgrade your e3m-Box and Data Center system configuration with a higher number of I/O's, additional users and connectors. Such an upgrade is calculated from the difference in the list price between the existing and the new configuration plus 10% processing fees.

Note: You can only upgrade from a smaller number to a larger number.


SUB/SaaS Changes

You can upgrade your SUB/SaaS parameters to a higher number of I/O's, additional users and connectors at any time. The price is calculated from the difference between the SUB/SaaS annual costs of the current and the new configuration in the current billing year. This price difference is settled pro rata temporis in the current contract year.

Each of these SUB/SaaS parameter changes incurs a non-discountable administration fee.
