Wasn't sure that'd be picked up on ;)   I gather from Jons wording though, they aren't using it for mission critical. Maybe they use it to schedule janitorial duties :)   T. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Rick Bullotta Sent: 19 July 2005 15:42 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license? Agree with you.  But 125K for a system that would be deployed broadly and may be “mission critical” would seem tiny – probably the same as the janitorial budget for a day or two.    I also agree with your choice of wording in “seemingly free alternatives…”.  J   - Rick From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Anthony Merryfield Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 10:38 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?   Depends what you're comparing. If I was a technical beancounter looking at the cost of Flex, comparing it to open source solutions and then seeing what our application requirements were; I'd be asking why we were spending ANY thousands of pounds on proprietary software over seemingly free alternatives. Especially since...   "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."   ...I'd be asking why you need more licenses if you are not using it to it's fullest potential yet?   To be fair, we're making judgements on one piece of a puzzle - maybe Jon could expand on his statement before we sit here waxing lyrical about his companies policies?   T.
