Scala Advantage

What is Scala Advantage?

Scala Advantage is Scala’s premiere software maintenance program. Our most successful customers always keep their Scala Advantage coverage up to date. Scala Advantage gives you access to all updates and upgrades for your suite of Scala products. Our development team spends hundreds of hours per week packing new features and value-added benefits into the software platform. Scala Advantage gets you all the new features and functionality that we add through the term of your agreement.

Every Scala product includes the first year of Scala Advantage for free.*

What’s my benefit?

• New features. We are constantly adding new features based on customer feedback. Our product is constantly evolving to incorporate new technologies.
• Improved functionality. Our development teams around the world work to make Scala faster, smoother, and more complete.
• Associated application compatibility. As new versions of applications like Flash and Photoshop come out, we roll that compatibility into our products. So even if you’re upgrading your operating system, we’ve got you covered.
• Find a bug? We’ll fix it. Our software is quite mature and has remarkably few bugs, but if on a rare occasion you find one; we’ll fix it and you’ll have access to the update.

What does this really get me?

Sure it sounds great on paper, but you need to know what you really get. So here’s an example for you:

If you had purchased the first version of Scala 5 in 2006 with two years of Scala Advantage, you would have received over 320 additional product features spread out over 6 product releases. That’s an average of 40 new features per quarter!

Many of these features were game-changing additions like Windows Vista compatibility, web services, Scala Ad Manager connectivity, Adobe Photoshop Plugin, support for over 15 different languages, playlist triggers, HD video playback, audio controls, sub-playlists, and so much more.

And that list doesn’t even include the endless ways we’ve improved product functionality to make Scala run faster and look better. These features and functions are available for download for any customers covered under Scala Advantage at the time the features were released. It’s easy, just click www.scala.com/updates and you’re on your way.

*NOTE: A given network has a single network-wide Scala Advantage expiry date equal to that of the Scala Content Manager. Scala Players will include complimentary Scala Advantage coverage through the next anniversary of the Content Manager. Therefore the Players will expire on the same date as the Content Manager, regardless of their purchase date. Upon renewal of the Scala Advantage program, support will be charged for each Player and Content Manager in the network. All products in the network must maintain the same expiry date.
