[Updated] [INFO] BBEdit 12.0 Pricing Answers

[Rich Siegel]

[Edited to add a bit about upgrading from 11.x.]

Good afternoon,

For those readers of the BBEdit-talk list who aren’t sure 
about our upgrade and pricing policy surrounding major upgrades 
I thought I’d outline it here for you.  It's been a long time 
since we've introduced a major version upgrade, so we thought it 
might be useful.


The short version is: We offer a free upgrade to anyone who 
purchases BBEdit relatively near to the date when we release a 
major version.


As such, if you buy a BBEdit 11 license now (whether new or as 
an upgrade from an older version), you will receive a free 
upgrade to BBEdit 12.0 when it ships. We’ll email you the 
updated license code, automatically, so please make sure that 
you provide a valid address when you order.


Today, the upgrade price from BBEdit 10 to BBEdit 11 is 
US$29.99. This will get you the free upgrade to BBEdit 12.0.


Once BBEdit 12.0 ships, the price of upgrading from BBEdit 10.x 
(*including* Mac App Store purchases), to the current version 
will go up to US$39.99.


At that time, BBEdit 11 customers who are *not* eligible for a 
free upgrade will be able to upgrade for US$29.99.


(These prices do not include VAT or sales tax, which will be 
calculated at the time of purchase.)


So, if you’ve been waiting to upgrade from version 10 to 
version 11, now would be a particularly good time to do it, 
because you’ll get BBEdit 12.0 as a free upgrade when it 
ships, and end up $10 ahead.


Information on how to upgrade to BBEdit 11 is here: 
.

We haven’t decided the precise cutoff date for free upgrades 
from v11 to v12, and our longstanding tradition is to commit to 
the date when we announce the upgrade is shipping.


That said, the date has traditionally not been less than three 
months and has always been generally considered fair, to the 
point of generous.


To you, the practical implication is that, whether an upgrade or 
a new license, if you haven’t already purchased BBEdit 11, you 
can do so today, knowing that you will get the BBEdit 12.0 
upgrade for free.


I hope that clears up -- or provides a reminder about -- the 
upgrade and pricing policy surrounding the upcoming BBEdit 12.

How about those proactive folks who already have v.11 and who want to upgrade 
to v.12 ASAP (or sooner)?

[INFO] BBEdit 12.0 Pricing Answers

[Rich Siegel]

Good afternoon,

For those readers of the BBEdit-talk list who aren’t sure 
about our upgrade and pricing policy surrounding major upgrades 
I thought I’d outline it here for you.  It's been a long time 
since we've introduced a major version upgrade, so we thought it 
might be useful.


The short version is: We offer a free upgrade to anyone who 
purchases BBEdit relatively near to the date when we release a 
major version.


As such, if you buy a BBEdit 11 license now (whether new or as 
an upgrade from an older version), you will receive a free 
upgrade to BBEdit 12.0 when it ships. We’ll email you the 
updated license code, automatically, so please make sure that 
you provide a valid address when you order.


Today, the upgrade price from BBEdit 10 to BBEdit 11 is 
US$29.99. This will get you the free upgrade to BBEdit 12.0.


Once BBEdit 12.0 ships, the price of upgrading from BBEdit 10.x 
(*including* Mac App Store purchases), to the current version 
will go up to US$39.99.


So, if you’ve been waiting to upgrade from version 10 to 
version 11, now would be a particularly good time to do it, 
because you’ll get BBEdit 12.0 as a free upgrade when it 
ships, and end up $10 ahead.

We haven’t decided the precise cutoff date for free upgrades 
from v11 to v12, and our longstanding tradition is to commit to 
the date when we announce the upgrade is shipping.

point of generous.


To you, the practical implication is that, whether an upgrade or 
a new license, if you haven’t already purchased BBEdit 11, you 
can do so today, knowing that you will get the BBEdit 12.0 
upgrade for free.


I hope that clears up -- or provides a reminder about -- the 
upgrade and pricing policy surrounding the upcoming BBEdit 12.
