+Hello, we are contacting you because AyaNova version 8 has been released.
+
+AyaNova 8 is a completely new version of AyaNova with many new features and improvements.
+
+
+Changes from AyaNova 7
+
+We have a brief summary of the major changes from AyaNova 7 here:
+https://ayanova.com/docs/ay-start-changes-from-v7/
+
+
+Hosted service
+
+With the release of AyaNova 8 we are excited to also announce our new AyaNova as a service option in addition to the traditional self-installed option.
+If you have been considering reducing your in-house hardware and software requirements, hosted AyaNova may be a good match for you.
+
+
+Can I try it before upgrading?
+
+Yes!  AyaNova 8 is different software from AyaNova 7 and we encourage you to try it out fully and familiarize yourself and your staff with it before upgrading.
+We have a guided tour that will take you through that process here:
+https://ayanova.com/docs/tour-bootstrap-intro/
+
+
+Do I have to upgrade now?
+
+While we recommend upgrading to AyaNova 8 as soon as possible we understand not everyone will be able to use AyaNova 8 right away 
+and we will continue to support AyaNova 7 as long as it's practical to do so.
+Our existing AyaNova 7 web content and forum are still available, select "AyaNova 7 content" from the "Resources" menu option on our website
+https://www.ayanova.com
+
+
+Is AyaNova 8 included with my AyaNova 7 subscription?
+
+AyaNova 8 is a major release upgrade and not a free upgrade with an AyaNova 7 subscription however:
+
+- overall pricing has been *reduced* as part of the licensing simplification changes https://www.ayanova.com/r/pricing.htm
+- discounts are available for existing AyaNova 7 subscribers, contact us when ready to purchase for your discount coupon
+- previously optional add-on's are now included now with AyaNova 8 further reducing the cost
