The Customer Care Upgrade Program was a successful incentive program we ran roughly a year ago to help fuel the conversion of our customer install base. The program provides customers with financial incentives in the form of hardware discounts and subscription\/support credits to move from a PA-4000 Series to a PA-5000 Series or from a PA-2000 Series to a PA-3000 Series.
