RE: [flexcoders] Flex academic/volune licensing

[Matt Chotin]

Hi,   Dave Gruber from Adobe tried to respond but I haven’t seen his post come through so let me re-post it.   Hi – As I’m sure you are aware, the list pricing for Flex Data Services is: Department Edition - $6000/cpu (up to 100 concurrent users); Enterprise Edition - $20000/cpu. Volume licensing is available for FDS following the standard Adobe volume licensing programs.  Depending on what type of company you are, Adobe offers varying discounts for commercial, government, non-profit and education.  These programs are described in detail at http://www.adobe.com/buy/volume_license/.    I’m guessing that there may be some confusion with the reseller that you are speaking with.  Adobe has several pricing programs available to resellers depending on the level of value-add that they provide.  Many Adobe resellers only sell Flex Builder and a limited number sell Flex Data Services.  If you’d like to contact me off-list and let me know which reseller that you spoke with we can be sure that you get connected to the right reseller that sells Flex Data Services and can offer you our volume discounts.   Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Let me also mention of course that we do have the Express version of Flex Data Services which is FREE.  Depending on what your application will be doing this may be just fine, unlimited connections on one CPU.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rick Root Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 1:04 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex academic/volune licensing   Back when Flex 1 was announced, it was really expensive, like $15k for a 2 CPU server license. But there was a nice discount through the old MVLP volume licencing program where it was only like $7500. And there were no connection limitations or anything then. It was still on the pricey side for us and so we didn't buy. Flex 2 was announced, and after about a week or so I was able to get a volumn licencing price for Flex Builder 2 (our cost was ridiculously low), but there was no discounted prices for Flex Data Services. I've just been told that there is STILL no discounted pricing whatsoever on Flex Data Services. What's up with that? so I'm stuck buying a 2 CPU license for up to 100 concurrent connections for $12,000, or $40k for unlimited connections. Have I been misinformed by the reseller that I spoke with? My department doesn't exactly have bulging pockets full of $40,000 bills. Adobe seems to think everyone who wants to use Flex Data Services must be rich.
