Studio License Renewal Cost

[Stephen Barncard]

I think the pricing is appropriate for a professional product. It's 
also the only way a little company can survive and still continue 
development. The features that's coming in the future (I can't talk 
about it - NDA) will make it all worthwhile.

If you don't make money with the product and are just playing around 
with it, then yes one doesn't need the upgrades... just use what's 
already in the version you have.

We Enterprise customers pay more than $199/year. And I am not complaining.

You don't want to pay for the newer versions... then don't upgrade.

It's also unfair to expect RunRev to be Adobe. You should know better 
than that.
