[bobbyjoe]

Hello dave,

The license structure has changes completly, they haven't just bumped up their prices.

If you already paid $69.95 for a license, then you will only pay $25 per 6 months - the $149.99 price is an itnitial purchase price.
The 'business' license is $300 and includes telephone support and faster ticket responce times.
The perpetual license is no longer being offered

To sunbeam and boobyjoe: thanks for the spam.

Have a nice day,
P

[davebax22]

You'll pay $30 for continue of support if you wish like always

Yep, but you'll be charged $25 every 6 months - though you can choose to only purchase the renewal when you need it

[davebax22]

thats cool then.

[Mark]

Yes, for existing customers it's now cheaper (unless you own a perpetual or lifetime license in which case it makes no difference to you), it's just the itnitial purchase that's bumped up a bit

[davebax22]

i have a standard licence

[Mark]

$19.95 cheaper per year then :D

[davebax22]

I still say mine was more comprehensive ;)

[davebax22]

i had a mate view your pricing and he thought it was like $300 a year, the site should make it clear to people on there prices on the main website.

It's pretty clear to me... http://community.ipslink.com/board/purchase.html

I agree with davebax22 on this one. Its all about wording: "Optional 6 month renewal for $25" could easily be read as a single 6 month instance, rather than $25 for each 6 months after the initial price, meaning nigh on $175 a year, which would put most non-business users off instantly. To be blunt, they need to change that wording, or they'll lose new customers to their competitors over a simple misunderstanding due to poor wording.

[Mark]

The big $149.99 should be replaced with "$149.99 for the first 6 months, then optional $25 per 6 months thereafter"
and similarly "$300 for the first 6 months, then optional $50 per 6 months thereafter""

I see that on the purchase page in bold already :)
