No 100 licenses has a lower price per copy. And embedded in a application that sells at 1000, 10000 or 1000000 the price gets much lower. Basically they more you can commit to sell the lower price you get. And as others have commented for our sales people it not the price per copy that the key thing for spending time on a deal. It the total deal size. So if you are planning to sell 100 $50 applications we do not have a way to price it for you since that negotiation takes expensive human time. But if if you are selling for example 20000 it another matter. /David --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
