Alice Software

From the 1st of January 2000 we are introducing subscriptions for the Alice System.

What is a subscription?

In return for an annual fee we guarantee you will receive one release of the system a year, regular updates, technical support, copies of the Alice Newsletter and reduced fees for fixing problems and a voice in our development strategy.

Subscriptions guarantee you support and software updates. Subscriptions help us to plan and supply new releases of the Alice System.

Is it still possible to purchase the Alice System the old way?

Yes. Once off purchases of the system can still be made.

Can I upgrade from a Once Off purchase to a subscription licence?

Yes, but it is cheaper to purchase a subscription licence. We do, however offer preferential rates if you upgrade from versions of the Alice System prior to System 2.1/3.0.

How do subscriptions work?

Subscriptions run annually from the 31^st January. We will notify you when we deliver subscription components and remind you at the end of a subscription year that your new subscription is due for renewal.
