Updates versus Upgrades
An Update is a hot fix to an existing application. Bicycle Bundle 2005 clients were entitled to updates at no charge during 2005. Bundle updates are available from our client Intranet for registered users. Upgrades, however, carry an extra charge if you are not enrolled in a DRS AMP (Annual Maintenance Plan). An Upgrade is a major rewrite of an existing application with new features, and/or entirely new applications.

I'm not sure I need to upgrade to Bicycle Bundle 2006 or RMS Toolkit 2006. What's in it?
DRS Bicycle Bundle 2006 and RMS Toolkit 2006 are major upgrades, with many powerful enhancements to your favorite utilities, as well as several altogether new applications. To see what's new in DRS Bicycle Bundle 2006, click here. The RMS Toolkit 2006 includes the same enhancements except JumpStart and bicycle-specific features.

How much do the 2006 DRS Bundles cost?
Pricing for our 2006 Bundles is based upon your Microsoft RMS point-of-sale lane count:

               Bicycle Bundle    RMS Toolkit
                            2006                        2006

1-3 lanes         $1495                   $995
4-9 lanes         $1945                   $1295
10-19 lanes      $2395                   $1595

Once you've purchased a DRS Add-in for RMS, you'll want to get the most out of your software and receive great updates and upgrades, by purchasing a DRS AMP. Current AMP subscribers can download our updates and upgrades from our client Intranet.

If you're already a DRS client using a previous version of our Bicycle Bundle, view the Bicycle Bundle 2006 Pricing Schedule to see how much your upgrade to Bicycle Bundle 2006 will be. You can also call our sales office to confirm pricing or to place an order.

What's a DRS AMP?
It’s an Annual Maintenance Plan, like Microsoft® offers, but for DRS products. DRS AMPs include both updates and upgrades. DRS AMPs are required for the first year and provide our clients the most current technology at the lowest price. Our AMPs are offered in two cycles. DRS AMPs purchased between January and June expire on 12/31 of the same year. DRS AMPs purchased between July and December are pro-rated and also expire on 12/31. Current AMP subscribers are then entitled to re-enroll for the next year's AMP at the lowest price.

How much are DRS AMPs?
DRS AMPs are priced according to the current list price of DRS software, and how much time has lapsed since your original purchase date:
         Within 90 days....18%
         91-180 days.......27%
         181-364 days.....36%
         1-2 years...........50%
         2+ years...........100%
