Hightower Associates have just announced a new stimulus plan that’s designed to assist users of their software who may have fallen off the maintenance bandwagon.

Under the plan, all prior year penalties (a 25% normal fee) are waived. All that a delinquent subscriber has to pay is the normal lapsed maintenance (up to two prior years’) plus the current year.

This offer is in effect until March 31, 2009. To take advantage of the stimulus, contact your Sage Business Partner or Patty Benitez (847-763-4754) at Hightower Inc.
