Re-Instatement Fees

Is there a best practice for dealing with re-instatement fees?

(1) Solution

Assuming this is in reference to an IBM purchase, a "Reinstatement" should be managed just like a normal Software Maintenance renewal.  The difference is that a normal renewal is just a renewal of existing maintenance.

If you let active maintenance expire, then you must purchase a "Reinstatement" to have active maintenance, which is at a higher cost.
