Altova Announces 5% Price Increase on Products for January 2025

Altova has announced a 5% price increase on all its products, effective January 2025, citing continued inflation as the reason. The company is providing its partners advance notice to allow sufficient time for communication with customers and to maximize sales opportunities before the end of Q4 2024.

Altova encourages partners to inform customers about options to lock in current pricing. Customers can extend their Software Maintenance Plan (SMP) for two years or purchase 2- or 3-year server licenses to secure the existing rates.

Partners can access the updated pricing details through the Altova Partner Portal. Altova sees this as an opportunity for partners to boost Q4 revenues by closing outstanding quotes and deals before the year ends.

Important Update to Jetbrains Continuity Discount Policy

From January 2, 2025, continuity discounts will no longer apply to new organizational subscriptions. This change affects all JetBrains IDEs, .NET tools, and the All Products Pack/dotUltimate bundles.

New licenses This update only impacts new licenses purchased after this date.

Existing licenses and Continuity Discounts Existing licenses and packages will retain their current discount rates. For example, if a customer with 100 IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate licenses currently enjoys a 40% discount, this discount will continue to apply as long as the customer continues using these licenses. However, if you purchase any new licenses after January 2, 2025, no discounts will be applied.

IDE upgrades to All Products Pack or dotUltimate Bundle Additionally, Jetbrains will maintain the discount rate for upgrades from current single IDE licenses to the All Products Pack or dotUltimate bundle. This means customers can continue to benefit from the same savings when upgrading. For example, if a customer currently holds an IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate license with a 40% discount, they can upgrade to the All Products Pack and get the same 40% discount at any time.

If you have any questions or need help, please contact Moonsoft.
