Are your ABELDent-related systems up to date?
Unsupported SQL Server software (or even supported SQL Server software running on out-of-date Windows Server operating systems) does not receive security patches from Microsoft and hence becomes more vulnerable to AI-based cyberattacks. As these threats grow more sophisticated, outdated systems face a heightened risk of serious, large-scale patient privacy breaches that can lead to significant and potentially unmanageable consequences. To protect your practice from emerging threats, you need the latest version of ABELDent, up-to-date hardware, Microsoft-supported Windows operating systems on all computers, and Microsoft SQL Server software. Since you are responsible for ensuring that the hardware and operating systems running ABELDent are up to date, this email focuses on protection and growth opportunities, which include:
- Microsoft SQL Server software version check.
- Required Microsoft SQL 2025 CALs (Client Access Licenses)
- 50% discount on Microsoft SQL 2025 CALs with the purchase of Cloud Migration Services * and commitment to upgrade to the cloud variant of v15 (ABELDent Cloud), preferably by the end of 2026 or soon after.
- 25% discount on Microsoft SQL 2025 CALs for Local Plus customers. This discount is not available to pre-v15 customers.
* For a one-time fee of only $600 for weekday implementation, Cloud Migration Services ensure a smooth transition to ABELDent Cloud.
ABELDent Cloud does not require local SQL Server software with CALs and associated costs, or any related hardware or software. As a result, the total cost of ABELDent Cloud over the long run is significantly less. But to minimize your risks, you will still need supported SQL, along with other up-to-date hardware and software, while you upgrade to ABELDent Cloud. That is why, for those customers upgrading to ABELDent Cloud, we are offering the 50% discount on the SQL CALs mentioned above.
To inform both you and us whether your SQL Server software and CALs need to be updated, ensure you are opening this email from one of your ABELDent computers, then click the button below to open the MyABEL webpage, which allows you to access the four protection and growth opportunities mentioned above.
