Digital Alert Systems SA-PLAN Software Assurance Plan

What is the Digital Alert Systems SA-PLAN Software Assurance Plan?
The Digital Alert Systems SA-PLAN Software Assurance Plan is an essential solution for ensuring that your EAS (Emergency Alert System) and CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) devices stay fully up-to-date with the latest software updates and security enhancements. For a small annual fee, the Software Assurance Plan guarantees that all software upgrades for registered units are covered, including new features, licensed upgrades, fixes, and security patches. This plan offers a hassle-free way to maintain compliance with evolving FCC rules, IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning System) improvements, and other critical updates.

Simplified Compliance with FCC Rules and Technology Changes
Maintaining up-to-date EAS equipment can be a major challenge for operators due to constantly changing regulations and technology requirements. The Digital Alert Systems SA-PLAN Software Assurance Plan removes the uncertainty surrounding software updates. By ensuring that all releases are included under a single annual fee, it prevents the risk of falling behind on vital compliance updates. This simple yet effective plan helps you stay ahead of shifting requirements while keeping your equipment operational and compliant.

Affordable Software Maintenance and Budgeting
One of the biggest challenges for EAS/CAP device operators is managing the cost of software maintenance. The SA-PLAN offers a predictable and affordable way to maintain software and avoid costly periodic upgrade charges. Instead of dealing with large, unexpected fees for critical upgrades, you can budget for a small annual fee. This fixed cost approach makes it easier for organizations to plan ahead and ensure they are always up to date without facing financial burdens.

Immediate Access to All Software Releases
With the SA-PLAN, members receive immediate access to all software releases, including major updates, minor improvements, and critical patches. Whether you are running Version 4.0 or the latest version, all subsequent software versions are included in your plan—no extra charges. This ensures that your system always has the latest features, security enhancements, and bug fixes, which is especially important for maintaining high standards of operation and regulatory compliance.

Additional Benefits for Members
In addition to receiving the latest software updates, members of the Software Assurance Plan enjoy several other valuable benefits. These include a 5% discount on repair costs (parts and labor) and a 5% discount on the purchase of additional license keys or options. If at any point, a software update is no longer compatible with the hardware, Digital Alert Systems offers discounted hardware replacements to ensure continued operation.
