Important Announcement

Subscriptions are currently suspended!

Unfortunately due to COVID 19 all the United States Application Support Centers (ASC) have been closed which has prevented the timely renewal of my work authorization. As a result I will be suspending the sale of all subscriptions until further notice. The suspension only affects new subscriptions and doesn't affect current subscriptions or new releases. Support for both Core and Pro versions will continue as usual. Thanks for your understanding and support.
