Support Policy
Support Policy
Supporting sunsetted releases is a costly practice and is impossible
for Landmark to do when the operating system or subsystem
Landmark products require to provide support are no longer
supported by their respective vendors.
for Landmark to do when the operating system or subsystem
Landmark products require to provide support are no longer
supported by their respective vendors.
Between the time Landmark sunsets a product and the time it
becomes impossible to support the release, you can request a price
for premium sunset maintenance. These additional maintenance
fees are used to cover our additional support costs, such as
maintaining old systems, and to allow more time to resolve
requests for service.

Premium sunset support contracts must be for a specified period of
time (a minimum of six months). The money-back guarantee will
not be valid if we find that we do not have the resources needed to
find solutions to problems.
