A new  Extended Edition BASIS license  has been created combining all of the features and functions of the existing Standard and Enterprise Editions for all BASIS products - PRO/5®, Visual PRO/5®, PRO/5 Data Server®, ODBC/JDBC, and BBj®. Therefore, BASIS will be sunsetting the Standard and Enterprise Edition license types on September 30, 2018. This effectively eliminates the artificial barriers to access the most advanced, modern multi-tier features of the BASIS technology stack by making these features available to  all  applications and installations. Those with the Enterprise Edition will automatically receive the Extended Edition license upon re-registration after September 30, 2018.

For the Standard Edition community, BASIS offers a free upgrade to the Extended Edition for all Standard Edition licenses covered by SAM (maintenance and support) on October 1, 2018! 

What about a Standard Edition license without SAM? 
Read on for a  limited time discounted upgrade opportunity at a savings of up to 40%.
The new Extended Edition license provides all of the BASIS tools and deployment options you need to take legacy applications to the next level. Now is the time to take advantage of a great offer.

Reinstate the expired SAM coverage for your Standard Edition license and get the Extended Edition with its long list of features, at no additional cost on October 1! That's an approximately 40% saving over a regular upgrade to the Extended Edition license!

This limited time offer expires on September 30, 2018. Thereafter, upgrading to the Extended Edition will incur the normal upgrade fee.
