My puzzlement may be similar to Dan's. When you imply some limitation in 
RunRev on number of objects handled, I wonder what it is you have 
encountered that leads to this thought. Would you mind describing the 
specific standalone limitations you believe exist in your licensed 
RunRev? I would like to get a better handle on what might be the real 
problem here.
