Upgrade to Softshare Vista 4.0

Vista 3.0 is a great product, but Vista 4.0 is even better. Released in August of 2003, Vista 4.0 has several enhancements that make the viewing, organizing, and creation of your EDI documents easier.

If you haven’t yet upgraded to 4.0, consider doing so. The cost is minimal—only $50.00 for Vista Standard users and $100 for Vista Professional users. We even have promotions in place for those of you interested in upgrading from Vista Standard to Vista Professional.

Here are three more good reasons for upgrading to Vista 4.0:

• Softshare is no longer supporting Vista 3.0. Per our service contracts, we only support an old software version for six months after a new version is released.
• Because the trading partner kit (TPK) technology differs between 4.0 and 3.0, any TPKs that you purchase in the future will require the purchase of 4.0. Similarly, any TPK modifications initiated by your trading partner will require the purchase of 4.0.
• Softshare is no longer releasing new builds for Vista 3.0. Any product fixes or customer ideas are incorporated into new builds for Vista 4.0. (Five new builds for Vista 4.0 have been released since August of 2003.)

Hopefully we’ve convinced you and you’re ready to upgrade! To request Vista 4.0, visit our upgrade request page at Softshare eService.
