6. Software required
Customer is required to have Raiser’s Edge NXT software and two Microsoft Power Automate licenses, one of which Customer will designate for use by PSG.

Customers who have prepaid for services through the Agreement shall continue to receive services until the Customer’s next renewal date, at which point the service will be terminated.
