6/5/2008 RISAFoot Version 3 Upgrade Provided at No Charge to Current RISA-3D Owners!

We've made the decision to include the RISAFoot Version 3 upgrade as part of RISA-3D maintenance. If you own RISAFoot Version 2 and your RISA-3D maintenance is current you will receive the RISAFoot Version 3 upgrade at no cost. Otherwise the RISAFoot upgrade will cost $200. If you qualify for this upgrade there is no need to contact us, we will send you the upgrade automatically.

We’re covering the RISAFoot upgrade under RISA-3D maintenance because the latest release of RISA-3D, Version 7.1, only links with Version 3 or higher of RISAFoot. We cleverly released RISA-3D Version 7.1 before making the RISAFoot Version 3 upgrade available, making integrated access to RISAFoot unavailable once RISA-3D Version 7.1 was installed. Because of the inconvenience this has caused RISA-3D Version 7.1 users, we’ve decided to provide the RISAFoot upgrade to them at no charge.
