My Enterprise has been sold.

Hi Andrew,

Pricing is something we do look at periodically, but don't expect it to 
change frequently.

I just want to point out something important. There is NO "cost of 
ownership" for Enterprise or Studio. Once you own a license it's yours to 
use however you like for as long as you like.

What maintaining an active license DOES is to grant you a larger discount on 
future upgrades and updates.

Currently:

- Three months of new versions are included with initial purchase
- "Early Update Packs" include a year of new versions. They cost $199 Studio 
/ $499 Enterprise
- "Update Packs" also include a year of new versions. They cost $299 Studio 
/ $749 Enterprise

The difference is that "early" update pack pricing is available while your 
license is "current" -- anytime within the initial three months or while 
another update pack is in effect. You save 50% of the cost of a new license 
with the early updates, and 25% off the cost of a new license with the 
regular updates. The regular update pack is available to all owners of that 
license no matter how long they've gone without updates.

The update packs are about just that -- updates. Rest assured that if you 
buy (for example) version 2.8.1, you will always be able to use version 
2.8.1 without additional cost.

By the way.... An interesting and often overlooked fact is that Revolution 
licenses are per *user* licenses, which means that you can install it on as 
many computers as you personally use, so long as you're the only one using 
it. There is no "activation" worries, either, like some well-known database 
software that gives you only two installs.

All the best,
Bill, RunRev marketing guy
