As far as cross grading, here is a direct quote from sophie when I asked this question a while ago to her directly:
"You are able to swap platforms at the same time as upgrading (not to Solaris however) - this will not be a problem for your customer or for yourself" Also, Unfortunately, I must correct the information below. You will find this in the FAQ section of the witango site. [What licenses can we host with ? You will be able to host web sites with Professional edition licenses. Hosting with Standard edition licenses will be only be permitted where the hosting service on that machine is dedicated to a single corporate entity.] Pervasive had this policy for a while, and then pulled it to allow you to host multiple domains on the standard server. I am pretty sure they did it do to pressure. To put it nicely, everyone got pissed off. I have sent an inquiry into Phil about this and I hope he addresses it soon. I firmly disagree with this licensing method, and if it sticks, I am not sure what I will do. I love witango, but if I have to purchase 2+ copys of the professional edition, instead of the standard server, then witango will have left me behind economically. Witango's core market seems to be developers like you and me. Our pockets are not that deep. I hope that Witango corrects this ASAP. I take pride in the fact that I pay for my software, and adhere to licenses as much as possible. But I just could not afford this. I am sure that if we all voice our concern in a gentlemanly like manner, this issue will be worked out. Robert.
