Question A PrDS Premium customer with Maintenance Subscription

was fulfilled with PrDS Ultimate 2015. Will the customer’s Maintenance Subscription SRP price increase?

Answer The customer’s Maintenance Subscription SRP price will

not increase; we have changed our SRP pricing to align with the product the customer was upgraded from.*

Customers migrated from PrDS Premium to PrDS Ultimate, or from PrDS Standard to PrDS Premium, will continue to pay their same Maintenance Subscription SRP price.
