Software maintenance gives each license purchaser these important features:

We notify all Benderlink for SolidWorks customers on an e-mail broadcast list that will automatically notify you when an update is available.  Each update requires a unique password that we will share with you when you request it.

="How do you track Software Maintenance Plans?"=

Each key has an integer value that is unique to that key or dongle.  Advanced Tubular Technologies tracks licenses by that serial number.  You can access the key serial number any time by using our KeyCheck program.  We record and track the software maintenance plan linked to the serial number.  Our staff can share the term of the plan with you at any time through e-mail.  Please request the information from Dawne Baker at dawne.baker@advancedtubular.com.
<br><br>

="How do I keep my maintenance agreement current?"=

Advanced Tubular Technologies keeps track of each maintenance subscription and will automatically notify you 120 days prior to your maintenance subscription expiration date and send you a quote 90 days prior to your maintenance subscription expiration date.
<br><br>

="When does the maintenance term start?"=

The start date for all maintenance programs starts when we e-mail you the hardware key activation code – then round forward to the start of the next month.
<br><br>

="What are the terms for Software Maintenance Plans?"=

The terms of the plan terms are “prepaid.”
<br><br>

="I have multiple licenses.  Do I need to purchase one plan for each license?"= 

Yes - if you want to renew the plans annually.  Each license requires its own service plan.
<br><br>

="How are upgrades performed?"= 

This plan offers remote upgrades and support through the Benderlink for SolidWorks Software Maintenance Plan Support page.<br><br>

="What if I have multiple licenses?"= 

Each license can have a unique maintenance plan period.  We will track this by hardware key serial number.
