Price changes for SCO UNIX products
Beginning with SCO's Quarter Q3 (May 1st 2007), SCO will raise the prices for it's UNIX products. Please get in touch with your local SCO Distribution partner for updated price information.

SCO has not raised prices for it's UNIX products since a decade. (Last November prices were raised only for Upgrades and trade-ins to older versions of SCO UNIX Releases)
SCO provides Free Maintenance for it's UNIX products - there is no annual fee to access either supported updated software components, new Features, Patches, new drivers nor the Support Database. This allows for a superior TCO of any SCO UNIX based solution. In fact, with the Release of UnixWare 7.1.4 in 2004 and OpenServer 6 in 2005, SCO has increased the included number of licensed CPUs from 1 to 4 and the included numbers of licensed users from 5 to 10 at no additional cost.

Access the Free of Charge Support Download / Maintenance Area.
Note: for testing purposes you can download all current SCO UNIX OS products free of charge and evaluate it for 60 days.
Note: SCO Partners have access to a Not For Resale Version with an unlimited license at a low license fee.
