Existing HP TRIM and HP Records Manager 8.0 support customers qualify for the migration edition when they upgrade to HP Records Manager 8.1 or subsequent versions, as new versions are released.

For existing HP TRIM and HP Records Manager 8.0 customers who are not licensed for the SharePoint integration (records or archiving) and/or the Workflow module, HP is offering this functionality at no cost for a limited time.  

To qualify for this no-cost upgrade, you must sign and return to HP a License Exchange Agreement by April 20th, 2015 in order to be issued with a new HP Records Manager 8.1x license key before April 30th, 2015.
