Sage 100

Quick question. I was looking at a customer's record on the partner portal and saw this listed under products: G9WCLGFUSR MAS 90 GF MB Users (Ver1.00) 5. What is this?

GF MB = grandfathered module based ? --- WAG

If Wayne is stumped, there is no hope for me :). But I am posting a screen shot in case this provides a clue.

I'm pretty sure that it is Grandfathered Module Based Users. How that all works into Sage's computation of maintenance is where I'm stumped.

Yes, that is what GF MB stands for.

I've heard that the grandfathered pricing went away in July, so clients can no longer renew their perpetual maintenance at the lower pricing. But, if your client is interested in upgrading from perpetual to 100c (subscription), they can get the lower pricing when they move from perpetual to 100c if they do it at least 90 days before their renewal date (because the old pricing will still be in the system until then). Unfortunately, this won't work for any client that has already renewed since July.

My understanding if they have already renewed is they must pay for the new subscription and Sage will credit back the old renewal. They should get a price that is not greater than the old renewal.

Next year Sage will probably introduce a certification in pricing, so they can charge another $1,000 per year to each partner.
