I was thinking it would be wise for those affected to grab a 5-year SWMA
before it's withdrawn.
Until I saw the part about orders received ON/After the withdrawal date not
being honored.

Announcement was made today and withdrawal date today as well.
Kinda pulls the rug out from under my idea.

Am I reading this correctly and they aren't even going to be offering SWMA
for the system going forward?
We've got quite a bit invested in WebQuery. Not going to make the company
happy especially if I can't get support on issues after my SWMA runs out.
