I was looking for the latest version of the X12 standard. The X12 store web
site says the latest version is 6040. But if you click on the complete
standard you will find 6050 at the bottom. It looks like they have changed
pricing models for the new version. Here is what it says after you click on
the 6050 version.
The X12 standard available as a
download. It contains the exact same information as the paper/bound format,
while offering the ease and speed inherent to this electronic-referencing
technology.
Beginning with 006050, the price
covers the use of the ASC X12 EDI Standard 006050 (Product) for one year.
Continued use of the Product requires renewal via an annual fee of 20% of the
posted purchase price for members or non-members, depending on your membership
status at the time of renewal. An invoice will be emailed approximately 60 days
before the annual fee is due.
If updates are necessary because
of modifications to the Product, there is no charge for such updates. The
initial purchase cost provides the buyer the right to updates to use the Product
for one year. In successive years, an annual fee extends the right to updates to
use the product. This fee is calculated based on the entity's current membership
status. Members pay 20% of the initial purchase price for members at the time of
the extension. Non-members pay 20% of the initial purchase price for non-members
at the time of the extension. The fee is not simply to receive updates, if the
Product, or derivatives built based on the Product, are being executed as part
of any organizational function, the annual fee must be paid every
year.
I think that says, if after I purchase the single user version of the standard
for $800 and I use it after the first year, I will owe an additional $160 a
year for ever if I continue to use the CD.
Am I reading that correctly?
Thanks, Bill
