Effective January 1, 2024 we will be increasing the price of an annual Cal5.0 license from $1,320 to $1,500 per year. This is only the second price increase we have had in the last 10 years.

 

The reason for this increase is, of course, the general pressure on pricing and expenses we are all experiencing. Additionally, it recognizes the extraordinary value of having our cloud-based database, Chateau, available for housing the data along with adding Chateau’s industry-standard QC tools.

 

As a part of this process, we are proud to announce that Cal5.0 users, who are using Chateau to store and manage their calibration data, will have access to the full functionality of Chateau’s auditing, alert and porch tracking features for the most important aspects of their calibration data.

 

The following chart will detail the specific Calibration Audits currently available to Chateau users.

 

Please note that, with each audit, you can trigger an audit-specific, same-day email alert to an unlimited number of email addresses to any responsible party.
