FDS Express is free provided you use for one application per server and the server has only one CPU.
This is not exactly what I would call free. In fact it seems to me that FDS Express was delivered this way to provide a way to develop and test applications, which is very good. With this kind of license agreement it can not be used in a production systems. Because if you need to upgrade your server you would pass from zero do US 6K. Or even if you use the same server and has two Flex application hosted you would be charged the same way. The "Big account" maketing and commercial strategy of Adobe is very dangerous. Software is tipically constructed by small/medium companies they are the ones that make things run. Remember IBM and its very good products. IBM is mainly devoted to big accounts, because of Mainframes, of course. They tried to transport this filosophy to Software, we all know what happened. I hope Adobe knows what it is doing. If they are wrong we will loose Flex. --- In [email protected], Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Monday 23 Apr 2007, mvbaffa wrote: > > And It's free !!!!! > > Isn't FDS Express free ? > > > When Microsoft solves the restrictions for the XBAP sandbox, XAML > > Browser applications will be a true competitor of Flex. > > As long as you don't want to have small downloads.
