Trace Software products are used to design, produce and control industrial installations.
Software require considerable investment in terms of human resources. The average use rate can be several hours a day, and an unavailable program can raise many problems affecting both the company’s productivity and organization.
That is why Trace Software is offering a specific services agreement to support its customers throughout their use of the software in the company.
To better meet their needs, Trace Software implements new services and offers its customers two levels of agreement; Silver and Gold to get the most out of their contract.
The services agreement guarantees peace of mind with a long-term customized follow-up. It optimizes the cost of ownership for your software.

Frequently asked questions

Even after training, access to our technical department will provide the necessary reassurance when getting started with the software. Throughout your software use, some features are only very rarely used. When you encounter a new use case, a quick call to our technical department will save you precious time.
How much does the services agreement cost?
The cost of the services agreement depends on the type of license. Subscribing to a services agreement provides access to new services or benefits such as quarterly free training webinars.
“Software warranty” vs. “services agreement”
The services agreement should not be confused with the warranty. The warranty is valid for six months from the date of delivery and covers hidden defects preventing users from running the software. It does not offer any additional services, such as assistance or access to the manufacturer’s databases, or any obligation to provide versions with new added features.

In practical terms, what does the contract comprise?
The agreement covers all the licenses used by the company. It is billed when the software is delivered.
The contract is renewed by tacit agreement to avoid any interruption in service. For an extra cost to cover administration fees, customers may choose an express renewal option.
Should the contract end for any reason whatsoever, it can be reactivated in return for the prior acquisition of an update for your licenses.
When a new license is added to the contract, the initial contract term is maintained. The amount of maintenance corresponding to the addition of the new license to the contract is billed on a pro rata basis until the expiry date.
