@Darwin - Download the new FARR and use fcalc -
$39.95 - 5.99 != 29.96
$39.95 - 5.99 == 33.96
Though I do now see that the original cost was $35.95 so your total was right. Never mind, it is almost midnight and the newborn insists on keeping me up to post to you :D :Thmbsup:

Happy Days!

Got a prompt response from Faronics about maintenance costs for single purchases of DeepFreeze. Here is the response ...:
The cost of our Maintenance package is basically 20% off the total cost of your license. For example, if you buy 1 copy of the Deep Freeze Standard with 1-year maintenance included at $35.95, 20% off that price would be $5.99, which would be the price to pay to renew that maintenance package the following year. If you buy 3 licenses at $107.85 total, the price of the Maintenance Package for all three would be $17.97.

Yes, it is quite a bummer, she made, so the example becomes very important, quote: "if you buy 3 licenses at $107.85 total, the price of the Maintenance Package for all three would be $17.97".
So of not off. 8)
Carol Haynes:
Wow! 20% of the purchase price per year for maintenance is SWEET! I ASSUME (yes, I know, this makes an ASS out of U and ME) that where the Faronics rep has written
1-year maintenance included at $35.95, 20% off that price would be $5.99, which would be the price to pay to renew that maintenance package the following year.

OFF = OF? Otherwise rather than paying $5.99 per year for maintenance one would be looking at $39.95 less $5.99, which would be $29.96.
Just curious.

LOL - 20% off is correct - the original price is the cost of the software + 20% for the first year of maintenance.
If you work out: ($39.95 / 120) * 20 you get $5.99 for the maintenance.

Nope - $107.85 already includes 20% for the first year of maintenance - that means the $107.85 consists of the software cost of $89.88 and the maintenance of $17.97 (which is 20% of $89.88).
So it is OFF not OF
It is just a very confusing way of pricing - it would be much more transparent and easy to understand if they simply said three copies of the software costs $89.88 + 20% annual maintenance subscription which is compulsory in the first year (but the software continues to work if you don't take out maintenance in subsequent years).
By the way I asked because I have three computers and there didn't seem to be any discount for multiple purchases on the webstore.
