planEASe Software Version History 1982 to the present
Subscription Update Program
The planEASe license agreement
provides that you may subscribe to our Update Program for this software. We urge
that you do this. In addition to entitling you to receive updates of the software
and manual, this program entitles you to receive announcements of new planEASe models
directly by mail, and announcements of documented system problems and fixes. Whenever
we issue new software like the
Partnership Models or the
Financial Utilities, subscribers are offered a discount introductory price.
Additionally, subscribers are entitled to call us directly at the support number
shown on the cover page to discuss any system difficulties.
Your subscription to our update
service dates 90 days from your purchase date, no matter when you subscribe, so
waiting six months until a new version is issued won't save you any money, and may
cause you to miss important information on the system. Subscriptions are also cumulative.
This means that if you bought the system two (or more) years ago and suddenly show
up for an update, you're going to have to pay two (or more) years of subscription
to get it, and you will have missed our help in the meantime.
Many software publishers offer
such a subscription service, and not all of them have issued updates thereafter.
In that regard, you should be interested in our record of issuing updates to our
subscribers, as shown in the table on the next page.
As you become familiar with planEASe,
you will appreciate the immense variety of situations that may be analyzed. Indeed,
the system is, in a real sense, a programming language. Although the software has
been tested now by thousands of users (the toughest test lab in the country), we
are constantly improving and inevitably, new bugs will appear as users try things
that are not anticipated. We will correct any situation which causes the system
to not operate as documented. If you find a bug, please send us a copy of the Assumption
Set and a description of the processing being performed when the bug occurred. If
you have any questions about how to do this, please call us for support and we will
lead you though the process by telephone. You will receive a free copy of the corrected
system if your Update Subscription is current.
