Commercial terms

The crossgrade path from APV to ATB and the commercial policy are the following:

End-users having purchased APV with an up-to-date APV URTS are entitled to a free cross-grade from APV to ATB with the equivalent features. APV annual URTS fee becomes an annual subscription fee to ATB.

Example:
APV CMYK annual URTS = 150€
Annual subscription fee of ATB for 2022 =150€
Cross-grade cost = 0€

End-users having purchased APV without an up-to-date valid APV URTS are entitled to a paid cross-grade from APV to ATB with the equivalent features. The cross-grade cost will be equal to the missed URTS years cost, maximum payable 3 years.

Example:
APV CMYK URTS = 150€
Number of URTS years not paid = 5
Cross-grade cost : 3 x 150€ = 450€
Annual subscription fee of ATB for 2022 = 150€
Total for cross-grade = 600€
