Spanish term or phrase: se quedara anticuado/lento (see my input)
No voy a cambiar, estamos muy contentos. Pero en el futuro, sería porque el programa se quedara lento y no nos permitiera una eficacia en el trabajo.
Porque el programa que usamos se quedara anticuado o nos ofrecieran un programa mas moderno con mejor uso a un precio competitivo.

I would change program in case it would run slowly / become obsolete

Mil gracias!

  -> yes, thank you
agree  Andrea Shah: Agree, though it seems more common in the IT world to use "run slow" instead of "run slowly."

agree  Neil Ashby: RE: Andrea's comment "run slow" is poor grammar. The verb "run" should be modified by a true adverb "slowly" but US usage increasingly accepts the lazy, informal use of "slow" as an adverb. "slow adv US, informal (slowly)" http://www.wordreference.com/es/
