Hi Ryan, Pam had to check some details with our distributor this morning, here's some answers for you:
> There are 2 ways to purchase CF7 "Box Product", and "Volume License". Yes: Box Product: The glossy cardboard and CD we know and love. Volume: You are eligible for volume license with just one purchase of any product (the entry level for Transactional License Program (TLP) is just 1 point). The program is transactional, so the more you purchase at a time the more opportunity you have to move into a higher level for that sale. Licenses are delivered vie electronic software download. We email the license and send a link for download. > Box Product sells for $1970 inc gst from the Adobe store You had $1970 from the Adobe Store (Maybe that was a US price - but I also understand there was some sort of stuff up in the store pricing during the merger). We sell it inc of GST and margin for $2190.50, Australian RRP is $2608. Compare this with the TLP license price: we sell 1 CF7 standard inc of GST and margin for $2079.16, Australian RRP is $2475.18 > Box Product includes CDs and manuals The manual for ColdFusion 7 is on part of the CD (no physical manual) inside the box. > Box Product is NOT eligible for a maintenence plan Adobe do not sell box maintenance. Macromedia had stopped selling box maintenance also a few months prior to the merger. > Volume License cost depends on how many Adobe products you already > own. No. Unlike the old Macromedia MVLP program the TLP program is transactional, so the more you purchase at a time the more opportunity you have to move into a higher level for that sale. You are eligible for volume license with just one purchase of any product (as the entry level for Transactional License Program (TLP) is just 1 point). Note also that a few large organisations (Suncorp, ABC etc) are in a different contract based program called CLP, which is not transactional. > Say you own none, then the license cost is around $2400.00 inc GST > for a copy of CF7 > Volume License does not include the media, this costs an extra $173.75 To purchase the media for an ESD (Electronic software delivery - i.e. license) purchase of CF7 $40.00 (RRP $47.61) To purchase media that is NOT for ESD purchase $145.95 > Volume License does not include the manuals, this costs an extra > $245.13 If you want to purchase the manual it is $205.92 and of course the same manuals can be downloaded from http://www.macromedia.com/support/ documentation/en/coldfusion/ for free > 2yr Maintenence costs $1050 To purchase 2 year maintenance $883.70 > It appears that the price of this has jumped up quite significantly > under the new licensing scheme.

The prices did increase slightly, but the TLP program goes a long way towards making up for it. > Has anyone traversed this maze yet? What's the secret combo to get > the most CF bang for your buck? NEVER buy boxed product - with TLP starting at 1 point every purchase you make can be under TLP. Buy a box of CF Standard and you've essentially paid $111 for some cardboard and a CD. Print your own paper manuals. Try to batch up your purchases where possible - it is quite easy to get into deeper TLP discount levels, especially if you're buying Enterprise or some tools. Hope that helps everyone.
