Passport PX52 Hardware: Support Ending for Upcoming Release in March 2018

The Passport PX52 (PX51) hardware set was released in 2005 and has served thousands of our customers with fourteen major Passport releases and millions of hours of store operation. The PX60 Passport All-In-One hardware was introduced as the next evolution in April 2014 and sold across all petroleum/convenience networks and markets over the past three years. The support for the PX52 (PX51) hardware set will be discontinued starting with Version 11.02 (Release 4) and all subsequent releases.

This release is currently scheduled for production release starting March 2018 with corresponding end-of-support deadlines defined shown in the table below:

Effective immediately, Gilbarco will extend the following to all active Passport customers who purchase PX60 trade-ups:

• Passport Trade-Up systems shipped after July 24, 2017 will receive a free upgrade to the new Core Application Suite that includes the following modules (Enhanced Reporting, Advanced Merchandising, Employee Management, Car Wash, and PlayatPump) when the trade-up is installed and activated ($4500 value).  You must use the promo code TRDCORE17 for your customers to receive the Core Suite Upgrade with Passport Trade up order at no charge versus a list price of $906. It will be available through 12/31/17

For Gilbarco Distributors, the following also applies:

• All current volume trade-up promotions have been extended until the December 2017
• Special Extended payment terms for volume purchases will be extended through 3Q 2017
• The return of PX52 hardware is no longer required for the trade-up promotion.  The Passport Trade-Up order form (SP-3804M) has been updated to reflect this change in the process.  An update to the current FAQ document (SP-3806A) about the Trade-Up program will be updated prior to the next Distributor Update in September to help address your questions
