The time seems short to me, but then again its not all that expensive to begin with, so perhaps if there was "full year of upgrades" option it would be perceived differently. Keep in mind some previous pricing structures of Rev. This is one of the hardest parts about pricing software. Some companies I know have charged based strictly on getting updates on units less than a year. It can seem unfair if there are no updates for the period you paid for. Now if you have a strict "ship an upgrade every X days" schedule, that could be perceived as more fair. But then, updates get planned based on those units of time. You could spend that time testing a beta of a fix (or new feature) only to be told the feature is going to get rolled over to the next version because of the deadline approaching (which can be exceptionally annoying if you havent paid for the new time period). With Valentina, we only work with 12 month periods from the purchase date. That works well for us, because it means there are a couple of major and several minor updates during any 12 month cycle - pretty much guaranteed. It works very well with infrastructure type products. I guess my point is - I havent met a perfect system yet ;-) Best regards, Lynn Fredricks President Paradigma Software http://www.paradigmasoft.com Valentina SQL Server: The Ultra-fast, Royalty Free Database Server _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
