Since February 1st, 2017 we are implementing new rules of the support.

So to prolong or recommence your support the following rates are used:

• prolongation rates - you have to pay for the next support period during the previous one or in three months after its finishing;
• recommencement rates - if the support was interrupted for period more than 3 months and less than 3 years;
• normal price with 20% discount - if the support was interrupted for period more than 3 years.
