In 2005, Instantiations assumed responsibility for ongoing development of the VisualAge Smalltalk technology base. The result was a new, modernized, VAST-based product called VA Smalltalk™.

What about support? VA Smalltalk comes with 12 months of full support and upgrades, which can be renewed annually.
