All the money below flows directly to Topro.
1) PlantY2KOne slip-streamed into Wonderware's FactorySuite1000 product (bundled) to dealers November '97. When a client wants to buy FactorySuite1000, he gets PlantY2KOne free for 60 days. Capability of the CD for 60 days is only to identify embedded system components you have from a pick-list. Period.
2) In December, FactorySuite2000 (upgrade)sent to ALL Wonderware clients who own FactorySuite1000 (20,000 +/- customers). PlantY2Kone bundeled with it and will be free for 60 days (approx thru February '98). Again, capability of the CD for 60 days is only to identify what you have from a pick-list. Period.
3) To keep the CD and software on the CD that was operable during the 60 days (very limited as above), the client must pay $4000.
4) To move on to analysis, fix, etc. and to access the up-to-date database at Topro via internet connection, the client must pay $5000 more on top of the $4000 above.
5) If the client wants the additional capability of searching for proprietary code (this is probably microcode) within their systems, the customer must pay an additional $2000.
6) If the client requests that a Y2K compliance report be run for a particular component, that report will cost them an additional $150 per report.
Many clients will opt to pay the $9000 upon receipt of the CD.
