Question Before Purchasing

[nir]

Hello,

I want to purchase IP.Board, IP.Gallery and IP.Blog systems and I have few questions.

If I purchase IP.Board Standard License, for how mach time I can run my board, download upgrades and getting support?

If I purchase IP.Gallery and IP.Blog, for how mach time I can run my gallery and my blog, download upgrades and getting support?



I'm asking this because I enter to this page: http://community.ipslink.com/board/purchase.html and it's says that I can download upgrades and get support for 6 months and on the gallery/blog pages http://community.ipslink.com/blog/purchase.html it's says that I can download upgrades and get support for year.



So I try to order, I pressed on the order button on the standard license and checked the Invision Gallery and Invison Blog checkboxes and clicked on "click here to purchase" button.

There, I sew these lines:

* $30.00 will be due on 12/05/07 for renewal of Invision Gallery
** $20.00 will be due on 12/05/07 for renewal of Invision Blog
*** $25.00 will be due on 06/06/07 for renewal of IP.Board Standard

As you can see, IP.Blog and IP.Gallery isn

How do you get today is 06/06 exactly?

I am more then familiar with the way the eastern world writes their dates.

[Charles]

Today is December 6, 2006 with the latter half being the two 6's.

I put in a request for dates to be written out as Dec 6 2006 in a future upgrade :)

I have one more question.
if I purchase IP.Board, IP.Gallery and IP.Blog systems, and install all of them, I can do that when a member will sign up to the board, he will sign up to the gallery and the blog too?

I mean, I can do like here that they will be conected?

And what is IP.Converge?

[Mark]

Hello Nir,

Yes, IP. Board, Blog and Gallery are completly integrated - however, members can choose whether or not to make use of the blog and/or gallery.
If you click 'My Controls' on your forum - your members will have the option to create a blog, or a gallery album.
This is done completly automatically - you don't have to do anything to enable this integration (other than install the products!)

Converge is an application that will allow two or more boards to share the same member database. For example, if you own two IPB licenses, you could use Converge to make it so that your members will only register once, but will be able to log in at both boards.
Converge will also be used in upcoming IPS products, should you choose to purchase them, your members will not need to sign up several times for different areas of your website.

[nir]

OK
Thanks.
How mach the IP.converge cost?

[Jonathan S.]

IP. Converge is included free with IP.Board version 2.2. There is no additional charge for this feature. If you have any further questions, please contact sales@invisionpower.com ... note that IP.Converge is not yet out as a final supported release.

Ok, if i buy a license with 6 months support/upgrades can i still run my board after 6 months without paying the $25 for support/upgrades? and if so can i just pay the $25 at any time i want to get the upgrades?

[nakisha]

If you choose not to renew, your board would remain completely functional. You can pay the renewal at a later date to receive upgrades and support.

For only 6 months more?

[Mark]

Yes, it is $25 per 6 months of support. An itnitial 6 months is included when you first buy the license
You are under no obligation to pucrhase support - however, it is highly reccomended you keep your board running the latest version to protect yourself in ways of security.
