Sma

If your SMA is expired are you still entitled to MR that are released after your SMA expires? For example, I have version 4.2 and our SMA expired on 6/30/2008. Version 4.2 MR3 was released 2/10/2009. I'm I entitled to MR3?

  • Brian I addressed my remark to Kenny, or are you two one and the same, that would explain. . .

    I realize that everything I post, you are all over, but I can honestly say that not EVERY post I make is aimed at you. I am still posting here despite your presence, not because of it.

    You and I have opposing view points on the issue of SMA & whether or not a MR should be considered a "patch" of a full version that would not require current SMA. Kenny jumped in and took up for you on the grounds that you have helped people. I was pointing out in my usual sarcastic and obtuse manner that I have helped people too. Nowhere did I even so much as hint at the possible implication you might have said I did not help people. Did you need a trolly for that ego? Neutral face


    Wes, sarcasm, you? Surely you jest.

    Going backwards should not be a choice you have to make. The latest is SUPPOSE to be the greatest and if it's not, then shame on them (Hexagon).

    I'm not going backwards.

    So what you're telling me is even though my SMA is expired, I can still download, install and use any software versions/maintenance releases that WERE available BEFORE it expired.

    I'm running version 4.2 MR1 and my SMA expired 6/30/2008. MR2 for version 4.2 was available 12/11/2008, so I can't get it.

    Now this is the funny part. Version 4.3 was released 6/26/2008, so I can get 4.3 because it was released BEFORE my SMA expired.

    Let me know if I'm right.


    Give the man a cigar! I'm in the same boat, 4.2mr1, SMA expired August 2008.

    It is also my opinion that Maintainance Releases (patches) for your version should be no-charge. That's how Windows operates. All my pc's (work and home) continually receive updates (patches) and not one penny is charged. How many millions of seats of Windows are there?

    Why is this so different?
