Let's add a FlashComm license on top of that ;)

It's kinda childish to think that for a billion dollar company  60k-120k in Flex's fees is still a bargain... Don't know why some people ignore the fact that Flex is just only a component ( presentation layer )  and in addition to Flex you have to invest in J2EE or .NET infrastructure.
 
Imagine having Websphere/.NET, Oracle/Db2/SQLServer and on top of this Flex. How much it would cost a company for all of this?  Also, let's not forget about the training costs, consultants you need to have in case you have a large project and run into trouble....
 
So, don't get me wrong... I like Flex and I think is a good product, but the licence's fees are too high in my opinion. In addition to a high price, the product is still in early stages, performance wise are still things to improve....

Just because a company is worth multiples of billions doesn't mean that the money is tied up in IT...

Your multibillion dollar company is hedging on $120K-$225K???  And don’t you have a purchasing organization that can negotiate a volume price?

I find that hard to believe…

On a slightly different note.

I can tell you that in our multibillion dollar organization Flex is
most likely about to be thrown out.  We were going to buy something
like 8 or 14 additional licenses to the multitude we already have, and
the pricing is just totally ridiculous for what we need it for.

Management is ready to cut their losses and redevelop with something
non-proprietary and we (the ones that really wanted Flex) have egg on
our faces.

I think we have come to the point where MM has priced Flex totally out
of the market.
