Help with the patches!

Suraj Bhatt;

I think that Primavera is giving upgrade for free to companies that had bought P3e v.4.1 in the last 6 months.

You did’t get me.I am completing my Annual maintenance contract Jan06.So if all the patches for version 5 have been released I am planning not to renew the AMC.Its pretty expensive and we did’t use it last year at all.

Dear Suraj,

Primavera is always improving its product line. Every month or two they release new patches. I have no doubts they will still release new patches with better P4 v5.

Regards,

Try to check advances on Primavera Engineering and Construction v.5.0.

If there are advances that u think will be useful for your work, so it is a good investment. If it doesn’t, do not change.

As I understand, the annual maintenance fee is 20% of the value of your software, so if you do not intend upgrading in the next 5 years you may be better off not renewing.

However, if you decide after a couple of years that you want the latest version and start your maintenance again, you may be charged from the time your previous maintenance agreement expired.

This was the case a few years ago when I worked for a Primavera reseller, and it might be worth checking with your local Primavera rep in case there is a chance you may want to upgrade in the future.

Cheers

Thanks!
