Announcement of the revision of the subscription service contract
and rental license prices
Posted on November 24, 2020
FORUM8 would like to announce that we have revised our software subscription service contract rates in order to allow our customers to take advantage of our subscription service easier than ever before.
At the same time, we will also revise the rental license prices in part.
■Subscription Service
We have reduced the new purchase price while making changes to the pricing structure to make it more understandable, so that our
customers can choose our services and avail from them much easier. New prices will be applied sequentially from new products
and new versions after January 1st, 2021.
We are currently making significant improvements to our software products including the UC-1 series software products in order to
support various standard specifications that are being updated, develop and embed into these products data exchange functions, make
them available on Cloud, and maintain product quality. We are also reinforcing our test team for comprehensive testing, as well as
support desk service to meet the expectations of our valued users.
■Rental Licenses
As these new prices will become effective from January 1st, 2021, if you are considering on opting for a rental license, we recommend you to sign up before this date.
