Well,
I bought 1.0 originally from Trelos, I found the $50 price ticket, good for
the product. I received as promised a free upgrade to 2.0.
I do not, and have never considered 2.0 worth of that name, it brought few new
features. nothing major. It is still a 1.x release.
I hope that Netraverse, let existing users "upgrade" to this so called 3.0 at
a reasonable price.
I am still hoping that I will be able to use my 2.0 version with a patched
2.4x kernel.
However I guess one license per year is reasonable, if it is sharply priced.
