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.
