Summary
The video announces Stromquist & Company's limited‑time promotion allowing BAS contractors to upgrade existing JACE 8000 controllers to the newer JACE 9000 platform. The offer runs through June 26, 2026, and is aimed at preparing field installations for the upcoming Niagara 5 release, slated for Q3 2026. Key details include the JACE 9000’s quad‑core CPU, 2 GB RAM, and 8 GB flash, which deliver faster boot and station load times while meeting Tridium’s latest cybersecurity standards. Upgrading requires only a one‑time license‑transfer fee; the original SMA (Software Maintenance Agreement) term moves to the new hardware, eliminating the need to purchase a fresh license. The five‑step process—verify eligibility, purchase an unlicensed 9000, request a license transfer, migrate the station, and return the old 8000 SD card—ensures a smooth transition. Tridium‑owned and subscription software options transfer automatically, whereas third‑party modules revert to stock and must be checked for Niagara 5 compatibility. For contractors, the promotion offers a cost‑effective path to future‑proof their control systems, avoid the imminent Niagara 5 incompatibility of the 8000 series, and benefit from enhanced performance and security without a full license repurchase.
