[PHP] Zend IDE price plans
Is anyone else dissappointed in the limited pricing options of the Zend IDE? I would love to buy the commercial license as about half of my work would fall into that. My problem is I don't want or need anything except the IDE. Are there other people in this same boat? I would like the IDE but don't want to pay for a bunch of stuff I don't want or need. I would think that there is some middle-goround somewhere. More than $50.00 for the personal license but less than the $850.00 for the whole big ball of wax. I would love to hear what others are thinking on this subject. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Charge a nobrainer price (for a limited period) and we would all jump in i predict. You mean like the Commercial Subscription ($70/month) ?? The Encoder SE is available with that plan. In fact, that's almost the whole idea behind the Commercial subscription: to allow a very low entry for access to the Encoder technology. As I said before, This encoder stuff may be great for companies that sell software and that kind of recurring $70 cost make sense when you are selling a product. But, If you are an occasional freelance programmer or use php for just your companies sight you could probably care less about encoding. I just want the debugger. Thats it. I hope they make some kind of allowance for this as was hinted before but that isn't what Zend told me when I inquired about it. They just said "No, but your opinions are considered". Obviously Zend can do whatever they want with their own products. I just think that something between illeagal and everything should be offered to maximize sales. Also, Does anyone know if the IDE works on the snapshots? I didn't see anything to preclude it but it seemed to come packaged with a PHP version. I wouldn't want to give up the ability to code with the latest function to use an IDE. I guess I could just do without for that instance. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thats what I wanted to hear maybe the winging did it or maybe they planned it all along ... - Original Message - From: "Zeev Suraski" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Lewis Bergman" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2001 3:34 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Zend IDE price plans Lewis everyone, An alternative (non-subscription) plan for the IDE will be announced next week. It'll be designed to make the IDE much more affordable for everyone, including those who develop for commercial purposes. Stay tuned!

There's no guarantee that it'll work on snapshots, even though, chances are it will.

In fact, that's almost the whole idea behind the Commercial subscription: to allow a very low entry for access to the Encoder technology. You need to buy a whole year's subscription though. This means you don't pay $70 a month but 12*$70=$840 a year, in monthly installments. There is a difference between 'amount X a month' and 'amount Y a year in monthly installments'. If X happens to be Y/12, it's still not the same. Just my $0.02. - Frank -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
