Warning, Concord Pro Users – Painful Decisions Need To Be Made

Several years ago, Altium decided to stop selling its Concord Pro on-premises database product, and the time has now come when they are no longer renewing licenses for current Concord Pro users. To add insult to injury, once the existing licenses have expired, Concord Pro will stop working altogether, and you will no longer be able to access anything in your database.

Altium provides only one path forward. If you are not willing to put your data on their cloud server and wish to keep it local, you must upgrade to their enterprise database product line. As the name suggests, an enterprise solution’s cost is more significant than Concord Pro’s.

Nine Dot Connects has long supported Concord Pro and its user base. We recognize that the enterprise solution’s high cost will not work for many Concord Pro users. We feel it is an extreme disservice to their Altium customers to force them to choose between an excessive cost increase and total data loss.

Using knowledge derived from years of experience, we can provide several options to help you get out of this bind. In fact, you might even come out ahead of the game if you take advantage of our data cleaning and organizing services simultaneously!

Time is always of the essence, so please get in touch with us as soon as possible so we can help you solve this problem and maintain access to your data.
