Did not even see the new version announcement so had no idea if there was a price increase or not so I asked. I know it was not mandatory or well I would have it already and if you care to post the link to the announcement odds are I will be upgrading.
Not sure where the finding a programmer for a salary of 50 a month comes into play. Unless your using the idea of only 1 license only which is not the case. Heck since I started using your products I have already sent over 10 others who also now use it now too. If I and all of them upgrade then that alone is 550 a month for that programmer per month. Again though I appreciate the additional optional add ons.
Can you explain the nothing is per site please. Does this mean if I wanted to add in more sites I still would pay the same rate per month in total? If so this would change a whole lot. Is this per customer or per server as well? Since I often give each site its own server. |
The point I was trying to make was only about the cost of development per client for our average customer who has just 1 copy of the CMS. I'll drop it before someone posts the beating the horse pic!
The CMS powers multiple sites. When you buy or lease it, it's not a single site license. We have users who are running 50+ sites from 1 install of the system. The price is the same whether you have 1 site or 100 sites. The rule is 1 CMS per cash program.
The system supports multi-server load balanced setups as well as content server clusters, can pull video from Windows and Flash streaming servers and CDN networks
There's a 1 time support fee charged to cover the setup of the system to run across multiple machines or to pull from a streaming media box, etc. Typically the charge is under $500.
The monthly lease price remains the same.
I can't promise that this policy won't change in the future in regards to server licensing but we tend to tack on charges based on how much support time a client requires rather than how many sites or servers they have.
I hope all of that made sense.
