Rockton Software: Important Announcement of Pricing and Annual Maintenance Changes

On Sunday, December 1, 2013, we announced our pricing changes; these changes are effective January 1, 2014. Our product price is increasing by $50 per user across all products--this is the first change we have made in seven years.

If you're considering purchasing a new product, our existing prices will remain in effect for the month of December.

Since our renewal price is tied to the current price of our product, your next renewal may increase. If you would like to prepay up to two years of your renewal, you may do so at the existing price, but you must contact us or your reselling partner before February 28, 2014.

For more details about our price changes, please click here.
