But in looking over our contract from then, it doesn't look to me like it's explicitly stated one way or another, although my reading would be that indeed we could hang onto the software w/o maintenance if we chose to. I would of course get our University General Counsel to take a look at it before I proceeded, and I could just be plain wrong in our case. I wonder if they changed the contract between '99 and '02?

Contract has been renewed annually since then. I came on board around 2002, just before our required upgrade to Millennium. A very expensive upgrade indeed - it was like "buying" the ILS all over again. I wasn’t employed here at the time, however, it was originally signed around 1992.
