VB MIGRATION PARTNER - MAIN FEATURES
VB Migration Partner
supports all the features described in the manual
and the knowledge base, including advanced code
analysis and the characteristics that are essential in migrating large N-tiered
VB6 applications, such as support for batch migration and source code control. The
price depends on the amount of VB6 code to be converted
and the number of additional user licenses.
The price includes a 6 month subscription
period, during which you can submit your questions to VB Migration Partner’s
technical support team and download new versions
of VB Migration Partner, additional extenders, and anything that has been included in
the main product after your purchase.
Regardless of the subscription period, VB Migration Partner customers will be allowed
to download all future 1.xx releases of the support library, so that your
investment in money and time is protected over the years.
Use our VB6 Bulk Analyzer utility to
count the number of executable lines and to create a detailed report of your VB6
applications, the ActiveX controls and COM libraries it uses, and so forth.
If you have any question, if you need migration services or just advice from
us,
send an email.
Read the EULA.
