Maintenance info

Keeping maintenance current on your Teamstudio tools is important.

With valid Teamstudio maintenance, you're not only entitled to regular product upgrades, you can also rest assured that your Teamstudio tools will always work with the current version of Lotus Notes and Domino.

Why You Should Renew Your Maintenance

When your Teamstudio product maintenance is about to expire, do you wonder if it's worthwhile to renew it? For you skeptics out there, following are some compelling reasons why you should keep your Teamstudio maintenance current:

Guaranteed Operation with Lotus Notes/Domino Upgrades

If you decide not to renew, we cannot guarantee that the Teamstudio tools will operate as expected when you upgrade to new releases of Lotus Notes—even point releases. We've seen examples where even minor Notes point releases have involved code changes that affected the Teamstudio tools. Our tools are built on the backbone of Notes, and as a result, we have to maintain our code each and every time IBM Lotus releases a new version.

Unlimited Technical Support

With a current maintenance agreement, you can email Teamstudio's tech support specialists with any questions or issues that come up. If you'd rather speak to someone personally, unlimited phone support is also available for the life of the then-current Maintenance Agreement. Finally, there is an online knowledge base on Teamstudio.com that contains frequently asked questions about our products and services.

Save Time and Money in the Long Run

If you do not renew, and later realize that you need the new versions, you will have to repurchase the tools at the current list price. And that could be a lot more expensive than renewing your maintenance now.

Facilitate Maintenance of Existing Applications, and Ease Migration to Other Technologies

There is value in the tools for the purpose of maintaining existing applications for both developers and administrators. Even if you're moving away from Notes, the tools are essential for analyzing your applications when preparing them for migration to another technology. For example:

• Teamstudio Validator - Automates the process of cleaning data to maintain the integrity of the data and ensure optimum performance of the application. Ensures data integrity prior to data migration, ensuring that data integrity issues do not also migrate.
• Teamstudio Delta - Helps resolve save and replication errors, and aids in eliminating duplicate applications. Using Delta, you can identify duplicate applications and save or replication errors prior to migration, saving you time and aggravation.
• Teamstudio Configurator - Aids in global data changes and global design changes that do not fall under the development function. Helps with wholesale text changes that typically occur prior to migration (i.e., domain name changes).
• Teamstudio Snapper - Watches untouched applications for data and design changes. Allows for recovery and rollback of critical data, and recovery of working designs.
