From my POV, a more profitable approach would be a modular license
where features could be added as needed. For our current application we
don't need anything related to LC or PDF generation or even Edge
servers, however we do need real-time data messaging and the new
reliable messaging. The full package could be the current price but it
could be modular in features like:
* nº of concurrent users
* support for edge servers
* pdf generation
* LC integration
I've spoken with Anil and shared my opinion, to me it's not getting it
for free at all, I'm sure I wouldn't mind to start at a 7.5K -10K range
and increase the price as we add additional features. LCDS has been an
amazing product and each new release brings a lot of amazing features
which makes total sense to pay for them, but Adobe should try to get
more adoption. LCDS could and should be a reference in the RIA space.
