RightFax Current vs. Sustaining Maintenance – What’s the difference?

Around The Fax Guys, we occasionally get the question – “What’s the difference between Current and Sustaining Maintenance for old RightFax versions?”  So we thought we’d clear things up a bit. Here it goes!

OpenText will support new versions of RightFax for {5} years following the release date. This is known as “Current Maintenance”.  After {3} years, RightFax software versions move to “Sustaining Maintenance” at this time, there will be no new development for service packs, patches, or hot fixes.

So what does this mean to you? If you are running a version that has reached Sustained Maintenance, you can continue to operate as usual, but your options for support will be decreased greatly. Not to sound alarming, but it’s likely time to upgrade. Check out the chart below to see how upgrading to the most current version is advantageous to you.
