RE: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?

It also depends upon the type of information in the RIA that your team builds.  For example, if you are spending a ton of money for a 3-5 tier setup where everything is load balanced, but the app is only going to be used a few thousand times a week, you are probably not going to be saving that much.   If you are building an application where you can show that seconds saved off of a single transaction saves the company hundreds of thousands of dollars a day you can probably get away with a bit more – probably.   Just one of those things where a company may not be wiling to spend $10 to save $1000.   Jeff Founder Flex Authority http://www.flexauthority.com   We are actively seeking contributors for the site.  Have a sample that you want to share with the world?  Send it to us!

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.
