Visual FoxExpress Subscription Service

The Visual FoxExpress Subscription Service is a win/win relationship between F1 Technologies and developers working with Visual FoxExpress. F1 Technologies wins by maintaining a single code base for Visual FoxExpress, keeping all active customers on the same version and by having a revenue stream that is less dependent on the release of upgrades. Our Visual FoxExpress customers win by establishing more of an on-going relationship with our development staff, receiving updates more frequently and with more new features, by becoming part of a growing and active community of skilled developers and much more. 

When you purchase Visual FoxExpress you automatically receive a six month subscription at no additional charge! The Visual FoxExpress Subscription service includes full access to the Visual FoxExpress areas of the F1 Technologies Customer Service Center. Through the Customer Service Center you can download updates, upgrades and other files related to Visual FoxExpress. The Customer Service Center also allows you to post and review enhancement requests, bug reports and knowledgebase articles. Currently the Visual FoxExpress support forums are available outside of the Customer Service Center, but in the future they also will only be available through the Customer Service Center.

The Visual FoxExpress Subscription Service, combined with the Customer Service Center, makes using Visual FoxExpress more effective and convenient for developers working with Visual FoxExpress and allows F1 Technologies to provide updates, upgrades and support services to its customers in a highly effective, cost-efficient manner. 

Subscription Benefits

Receive More for your Dollar

The cost of an annual Visual FoxExpress Subscription is less than some of our competitors charge for a year of on-line support. When you consider the costs typically associated with updates and upgrades, the other benefits of the subscription service and that our technical support is widely recognized as the best of any VFP framework vendor, the Visual FoxExpress Subscription Service is an incredible bargain.

Eliminate unknown upgrade and support costs

With a Visual FoxExpress Subscription you will not incur any upgrade costs or costs for on-line support for the duration of your subscription.  New versions of Visual FoxExpress are included with the subscription service.

Update Notification

Current subscribers will receive e-mail notification of available updates.

Immediate Availability of Updates

Updates to Visual FoxExpress will be immediately available to current subscribers.

Automatic Access to Beta Programs

Major new features, as well as new versions of Visual FoxExpress may be posted as beta versions prior to their initial release, if deemed necessary by our developers. Subscribers will have access to all updates and upgrades in beta testing during the beta stage.

Access to Priority Technical Support Forums

Registered Visual FoxExpress users with a current subscription will be provided with access to the Visual FoxExpress Priority Technical Support Forums. The Priority Technical Support Forms are monitored by our developers. 

Access to Knowledgebase

Current subscribers have access to the Visual FoxExpress Knowledgebase. The Visual FoxExpress Knowledgebase includes articles from the developers of Visual FoxExpress as well as submissions from Visual FoxExpress users.

Access to Bug Tracking and Enhancement Requests

Current subscribers have unlimited access to the Bug Tracking and Enhancement Request features of the Customer Service Center.

What if I don't subscribe or my subscription expires?

Visual FoxExpress is offered on a subscription basis only. If you currently own Visual FoxExpress and choose not to subscribe, the only way to receive an update or upgrade to Visual FoxExpress will be to purchase a subscription. All subscriptions will be cumulative, so in effect, you could opt not to subscribe and still receive all of the changes that have been made to Visual FoxExpress since you purchased it or since your last subscription expired as soon as you purchase a subscription. 

If you choose not to subscribe you will not receive updates or upgrades until the time you renew your subscription and you will not have access to technical support, the knowledge base, beta programs or any of the other benefits of the subscription service. In order to streamline our development processes and maintain a single code base, we will not be posting or providing updates or upgrades outside of the subscription service. This includes enhancements as well as problems in the product that we correct.

Also, please note that the product updates, regardless of when they were released, are only available to registered users with a current subscription.

The best way to keep your version of Visual FoxExpress current, and to receive all of the other benefits of the subscription service, is simply to keep your subscription current.

If you are registered for an F1 Technologies product but your subscription has expired, you can still view the available downloads in the Customer Service Center to see what you are missing.

Please note, under no circumstances are subscription renewal purchases refundable.
