Crate Pro 6 Support and Fee Schedule
Print
Modified on: Thu, Mar 3, 2022 at 2:26 PM
The perpetual license program gives you the opportunity each year to take advantage of continuing an active maintenance plan. While not required to use Crate Pro, it is strongly suggested, not only for the benefits of receiving updates but for some features to function.
Maintenance allows you and your staff to schedule free virtual support sessions for installation, configuration and ongoing training! Your company code for free sessions is available in your online support profile.
Maintenance not only helps you stay compatible with hardware and operating system updates, but it allows your entire staff to request support at no extra cost to your company!
All support requests require that the requester have a free support portal account. The primary contact can request a portal account created simply by sending your full name and email address to Support@CratePro.com
The annual maintenance costs also include maintenance renewals on the Claris-FileMaker software, and lapses in coverage are not allowed by the terms of the EULA. The CAL and Server licenses will need to be purchased as a new customer should maintenance lapse and you wish to take advantage of the benefits.

- Free Crate Pro 6 updates with new feature and fixes:
- Free full releases of Crate Pro software
