Standard Support/Upgrades Plan:
Email advice on installation, configuration and management. Free upgrades to new
versions of the software (if any) during the supported period. This level of support is
provided free for the first 12 months when you purchase a DNews Server license. It is
recommended you continue this level of support when you have some technical expertise in
house but do not have years of experience running news software. Response will vary
depending on your time-zone but in general all messages are responded to by the next
working day.
Upgrade Insurance Plan:
Upgrade Insurance gives you access to upgrade to any new version of DNews for a period of 12 months. This option insures you against the rapid development of news server technology, and allows you to budget your upgrade costs easily. IMPORTANT: You may purchase Upgrade Insurance any time before the end of the complimentary period or before the end of any upgrade and/or support plan. Upgrade Insurance is for those users who want to ensure that they are always running the most advanced news server software but don't require technical support.
Priority Support Plan Includes:
Standard support plus direct Telnet support on your machine if/when requested. In
addition your problems will be given priority when multiple fault calls are waiting. This
level of support is recommended for commercial customers who cannot afford any down time.
Basically with this support, we drop what we are doing and work on your problem.
In future support may be moved from NetWin to a nominated company specializing in this
service.
Porting
NetWin may port to any unix'ish platform on request. We require a registration before
performing this service, as well as Telnet access to your machine.
