   To Zemax Users with Expired Support,   
      
   I have a Zemax key with support that expired in 2011.  When I saw the memo   
   last year stating the raised penalties if you didn't renew soon, I wrote a   
   cryptic letter stating this was not a viable method to get back old   
   customers and recommended an amnesty program at reduced upgrade cost.   
      
   I received an e-mail (and later a call) stating I could now get up to date   
   for $890, versus $3560 if I updated by year-end 2015.  It's a reasonably   
   good deal I guess but as I am mostly retired and use Zemax infrequently, I   
   am not sure I will buy back in.   
      
   I just thought I would let other key holders know in case they weren't   
   contacted.  Please note whether you are taking advantage of this   
   reduced-cost program.   
      
   Thanks,
