I recenlty purchased 10 licenses directly from FM for $97 each. This
included the non-profit discount and volume license discount. I realize not
everyone needs or can afford 10 license, buy fyi.

I haven't dealt with Gifts in Kind for several years and can't vouch for
their integrity. However, I checked out the Gifts In Kind web site where
they promote the "NEW!" FileMaker Product. To get "free" copies of FMP, you
need to 1) Have an annual budget under $1 million �2) Own a copy of the
current version of FMP �3) Register with Gifts In Kind [$125] �4) Submit an
Application.
Those interested can head to www.giftsinkind.org

Subject: [support] Re: Multiple Filemaker upgrades
I checked the FM Pro web site and it looks to me that they have changed
their donation policy. �Maybe that's why no one on this list was able to
obtain a donation last year (at least we heard from no one who had).
The web site indicates that all product donations are now handled through
Gifts in Kind. �I have personally have horrible experiences with this
organization. �The place I worked for was burned so badly, we canceled our
membership. �This was five years ago, so maybe things have changed. At the
time, we found that Gifts In Kind simply did not deliver the promised
products. �I felt like they used "bait and switch" tactics - by advertising
the availability of software and computer hardware to induce organizations
to join, but never actually having the products available (we were told
there was a waiting list - and sure enough, we were always waiting).
Everything we ever received was not as advertised- we always had to pay a
fee, and I felt what we got wasn't worth it. �After being on a waiting list
for a PC for over a year, we were finally offered a 286, if we drove 100
miles round trip to pick it up. �This was in 1997 when 286 computers were
hopelessly out of date and no software we owned would run on it.
Sometime around this period, the Chronicle for Philanthropy ran an article
about Gifts in Kind that reported many others had similar experiences.
Maybe things have changed with them since that time, I don't know. I'd
certainly like to hear from folks who could tell me that they have changed.

software to nonprofits--only 40% discounts to those who purchase 10 or more
units.
Questions:
1) Does anyone know if this is correct info?
2) We need to use ebase on three computers. �Can we purchase three upgrades
from 4.1 (which we own) to use on the other computor must we buy the full
package for each computer in order to share ebase on all three?
3) Is it possible to leave 4.1 on one computer or would the converted files
not be readable? �I assume this would be a problem.
We're running ebase on ME and XP.
Thanks!
