Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 25, 2006, as part of its third quarter earnings release conference call, RightNow Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a plan to replace term license arrangements with subscription service arrangements (“subscriptions”), beginning in 2007. The Company anticipates that revenue recognition for subscriptions will not be materially different from revenue recognition for term license sales. The Company also anticipates that its sales commissions expenses for subscription sales will be recognized in proportion to the revenue recognized. The Company’s revenue and earnings guidance for 2007, which were provided as Exhibit 99.1 to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed earlier today, reflects the recognition of sales commission expenses in proportion to the anticipated revenue recognized for subscription sales.

The information contained in this report and in the exhibits attached to this report is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The information contained in this report and in the exhibits attached to this report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
