> ### Registering your product

> To be eligible for user support services, you must register your OpenEdge product.

> ##### Benefits of the Annual Maintenance Plan

> There are three important reasons for you to cover your OpenEdge products under the Annual Maintenance Plan: access to new product versions, investment protection on product trade-ins, and access to Progress Software Corporation Technical Services.

> Keeping up with software enhancements is always important, and it is often critical to the success of your application. Progress Software Corporation regularly introduces new features and capabilities. If you cover your products under the Annual Maintenance Plan, you can receive new versions for only a processing fee plus the cost of the documentation, where applicable. Also, if your product is covered under maintenance, you get 100% trade-in value toward future products.

> Finally, we think you will find access to our Technical Services staff invaluable.

> ##### How do I enroll?

> The Annual Maintenance Plan is valid for one year from the date you purchase your OpenEdge product and can be renewed at the end of that year. For the specific costs of your maintenance plan, please contact your Progress Software Corporation supplier.

> The sooner you enroll in the Annual Maintenance Plan, the more economical it is. If you enroll in the plan more than 90 days after purchasing your product, you are subject to substantially higher prices. Please contact your Progress Software Corporation supplier if you have any questions about the Annual Maintenance Plan.

> ##### So, enroll in the Annual Maintenance Plan today!

> Note: If you purchased your product through a Progress Software Corporation Application Partner, contact them first to purchase maintenance.
