Effective immediately, we are replacing ML8 as our entry-level platform. In its place is MultiStore Express. No lowering of features or functionality – instead we offer a restricted number of products to be sold by an Express Store.

Please be assured that ML8 is still very much supported. We are just not selling any more copies. It is time for us to consolidate.

Also effective immediately, we are unveiling our policy on Update Rights, which allow all licensees, regardless of their platform, to sign up for an annual program which dramatically reduces the cost of updates during that time. Until September 19, 2011, we are opening a short window of opportunity during which time our valued customers, regardless of the version of their current software, may purchase one year's worth of Update Rights. After that time, Update Rights can only be purchased at the time of software purchase, so please, hurry, act today.
