Why pay MasterMine maintenance?
Annual maintenance costs 20% of the current software cost per year. This is a very small price to pay to maintain the value of your investment over time. Here's why.
By staying current on annual maintenance, you get:
Free Version Upgrades
MasterMine continually updates the software to keep up with changes in Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Excel, and GoldMine, any of which could cause your old software to cease functioning properly. Between major version releases, we also frequently add minor new features, bug fixes, and user conveniences. By keeping up your maintenance, you are entitled to all these improvements for FREE. And you can implement them easily at any time by downloading the latest software from our website.

Compatibility with upgrades to other products
When you upgrade GoldMine, MS Office, or MS Windows in the future, your MasterMine software needs to be kept up to date as well. In our experience, any of these upgrades may require changes in MasterMine to continue to be fully functional. We continually monitor our software and make adjustments as needed. You will want to have current MasterMine software to ensure continued service and to take advantage of new features in newer versions of these dynamic products.
Free Technical Support
Our online technical support assists your IT staff in making sure MasterMine is installed correctly and functions according to spec on your system. If you reinstall or upgrade MasterMine or GoldMine, we can help you make sure everything on the MasterMine side is correct.
Access to Online Services
Online services like report writing, training and MasterMine-enabled business analysis and data management help you get the best result for your investments in GoldMine AND MasterMine. We can save you a great deal of time and effort with efficiently delivered, over-the-web services. With lapsed maintenance, these services are still available, but at a higher cost. As with GoldMine, unless you keep your skills at a high level or use available services, you may miss out on lots of the value you could be getting from GoldMine information through MasterMine.
"Why not skip a year or two?"
There is no advantage to skipping a year of maintenance. Staying current at a cost of 20% per year (discounted if you purchase multiple years at once) is the best way to keep your software functioning as you need it to, with the least hassle. Reinstating after a lapse costs 40% of the current software cost, plus an additional 20% per major release that has come out since your maintenance lapsed.
