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

Thought I'd kick in a story... I'm on a project @ one of the largest IT company's in the world and was talking with the lead on diff project in the same office (for one of the biggest clients here).  They were "really" tyring to get the client to go down the flex road on the project.  (It was initially a flash design.)  However the deployment was to a rather large server farm.  The licensing quote from MM for the deployment worked out to be around $750K U.S. (or more... i forget... i was too busy trying to re-hinge my jaw)   The client said no to flex for this particular project and decided to go with flash because of the licensing price tag.



that was equal to or more 750K .  To which the company promptly said "k ya no... 2 much dough"

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.
