Hi Nils, > How do I install this tool on a Unix, Linux or BSD based machine ?
The tool itself is Windows based - however, people are running it under Wine and similar emulators. See http://www.upscene.com/documentation/dbw_freebsd_wine.htm for an example. > Why does it say on the page > > 1) Receiving upgrades is not time limited. > > and 2) > The license itself isn't time limited - but there is a 20% yearly renewal fee > for maintenance and support (updates etc) on the driver after the first year. The (2) part comes from a different product: "InterXpress for Firebird" and is not related to Database Workbench. There's a different header on the webpage above that part. > I found this > > a) confusing and > b) I would prefer a one time fee. If you read it like that, it actually is confusing :-) ... Is your web-page view perhaps messed up? The page is tested with IE and Opera and looks fine in both. > The module system is probably a nice idea, but shouldnt that allow to offer > the drivers for a reasonable price ? You are mixing two things, the driver product has nothing to do with Database Workbench. > I found 435$ for the full module software to expensive. I can get similar and > better software easily for under 100$ - ( sometimes even free) which offer > more features and reliability than your product. I'm surprised you can say something like that just a few hours after release :-) Take another look: if you want to use Database Workbench for MySQL only, you can purchase a license for Euro 109,- not Euro 435,- ... If you want more database engines supported, the license price will increase. > If you have the luck to find customers which are willing to pay this, than you > are probably the most terrific sales person around for a while. > All power to you. The InterBase and Firebird modules of Database Workbench have been successfull for quite some years and include many useful tools not offered in order applications. The "per database engine" modules allow you to make a difference between a "one size fits all" product, but still have the ability to use tools like the Test Data Generator or Schema Migration tool without the need to buy licenses for hundreds or thousands of Euros.
