Hi

I have a small question about licensing of MonoTouch now that Xamarin has 
gained the commercial rights from Novell.

We bought a MonoTouch Enterprise license in april this year. As I understand 
it, the license granted us a never ending right to use, but only a 1 year 
software update right.


1.       Is this update right still maintained even though Xamarin now are in 
charge of the software?

Secondly, we just got the offer for a 50% discount on MonoDroid (if bought 
together with MonoTouch).


2.       Is the "Novell" MonoTouch license mentioned above eligible to an 
upgrade license from Xamarin?

I don't think we will buy the MonoDroid right now, but we will need it at some 
point, and depending how close we get to april next year it might be 
interesting to combine the two if an interesting offer comes along. Right now 
it doesn't take a mathematical genius to figure out that saving 50% of 
MonoDroid while buying an unnecessary upgrade that costs above 50% of MonoDroid 
isn't a good idea. (unless we get all emotional and want to support Xamarin for 
their great work!)

I hope somebody can provide a quick answer to the two questions above - so I 
know if I can upgrade MD/MT without violating my enterprise license, and 
whether or not we need a new license once the current software update expires.

Best regards
/Anders
