This Merging Technologies Pyramix ASM is an Annual Software Maintenance plan that provides one full year of updates, hot fixes, options, and even full releases of the software. The ASM plan enables access to the Technical Support Hotline without charge and supports free key transfers and name changes. The ASM plan provides notifications that will be sent out regularly when updates, hot fixes, or new options are available for download. The ASM plan can be renewed prior to expiration, at time of expiration, or within two years from expiration. The ASM plan start date will automatically be activated when the last day of the previous ASM is reached.
