It is call exactly that and it's reasonable. It's based on how long you've been off with an upper limit on time. And it's based on your software tier so P05 folks pay less and P30 folks pay more. And you also need to purchase a year going forward. I would put their process up as the model for vendors to emulate not to mock.
