As I understand, the annual maintenance fee is 20% of the value of your software, so if you do not intend upgrading in the next 5 years you may be better off not renewing.



However, if you decide after a couple of years that you want the latest version and start your maintenance again, you may be charged from the time your previous maintenance agreement expired.



This was the case a few years ago when I worked for a Primavera reseller, and it might be worth checking with your local Primavera rep in case there is a chance you may want to upgrade in the future.

Try to check advances on Primavera Engineering and Construction v.5.0.



If there are advances that u think will be useful for your work, so it is a good investment. If it doesn’t, do not change.

Dear Suraj,



Primavera is always improving its product line. Every month or two they release new patches. I have no doubts they will still release new patches with better P4 v5.

You did’t get me.I am completing my Annual maintenance contract Jan06.So if all the patches for version 5 have been released I am planning not to renew the AMC.Its pretty expensive and we did’t use it last year at all.

Suraj Bhatt;



I think that Primavera is giving upgrade for free to companies that had bought P3e v.4.1 in the last 6 months.
