PocketFMS Pricing.

Why subscribe to PocketFMS?PocketFMS is not for sale, but instead uses a subscription system like a newspaper or magazine. You can purchase a subscription for the period of a year at a time. If you do not have a valid subscription but would like to have one, simply make sure you have the latest version of PocketFMS installed. PocketFMS Desktop will prompt you to subscribe, which you can conveniently do by pressing its [Subscribe] button. A simple, 4-step process takes you towards your subscription.

There is no start-up or entry fee, just the subscription price - which includes everything. No additional costs for maps for other regions, weather, additional programs or what more have you. Payment can be done either via PayPal, credit card or by making a bank transfer.

As you may have noticed, PocketFMS is brought to you by the PocketFMS Foundation. A Foundation is a not-for-profit organization (we're legally not allowed to make a profit, we're only allowed to pay our expenses!), so at this time we can bring PocketFMS to you at a friendly price of €150 a year (yep, that's 41 cents a day!). If you are a PocketFMS Donor (i.e. you have made a Donation of €50 or more to us before 01APR2007), your annual subscription fee is cut in half - 50% discount for you, every year, life-long. This will automatically be detected and applied.

  Once you complete the subscription process, your subscription will automatically start:
  - If you're still in the 30-days trial period: at the end of your trial period, giving you some free extra days use, or
  - If you already have a valid subscription: at the end of your last subscription, or
  - If your trial period or subscription has expired: immediately after completing the payment.

Basically it's safe to say that your subscription will start at a date that's in your favor. Being 'too early' never costs you any days, but might gain you some.

What do I get when I subscribe?


  When you subscribe, you get it all:
  - Access, for at least 12 months, to the PocketFMS AeroDatabase. This is a high-quality, professionally maintained Aeronautical database for world wide use which is updated every 2 hours.
  - Access, for at least 12 months, to download weather data for all available regions. With this data you can't only see the current weather, but clearly view its development over time as well!
  - Access, for at least 12 months, to download Roads & Rivers maps for the entire world. These maps are the background for the Moving Maps, and are updated roughly once a year.
  - Access, for at least 12 months, to download all high-resolution terrain elevation data for the entire world. This is used in terrain avoidance and height shading.
  - Access, for at least 12 months, to download all PocketFMS DataPacks. These packs contain background maps and elevation data for a large region such as the entire USA or Europe.
  - At least 12 months free use of the PocketFMS programs. This includes both the Desktop version for Windows NT / XP / 2k / Vista, the Pocket PC version for Windows Mobile 2003 and up and the CarNav version for CE based Car Navigation devices.
  - At least 12 months the option to update your MGL glass cockpit's database with PocketFMS AeroData.
  - Free software updates. Any and all PocketFMS software updates are free for you to download and use within your subscription period. PocketFMS Desktop will alert you when a program update is available.
  - A 10% discount in a growing number of selected webshops.
  - Quick and accurate support. We're very determined to solve any and all problems that arise related to PocketFMS use.

It's only fair to mention that PocketFMS will stop functioning when your subscription expires. The analogy with the aforementioned newspaper or magazine subscription is valid here too - when you stop the payment, you also stop the newspaper from coming in. Approximately 30 days before your subscription will expire, PocketFMS will start reminding you of this.
