Making Sense of Licenses

[Maarten Koopmans]

...precisely why I renewed, because upgrade fees per component are not too
much compared with a new license. But, I have the dev program too, so far
worth the money, especially if you're doing mobile.

LC has a much more agressive release cycle these dats, with smaller
improvement coming faster in dot or dot-dot releases.

Personally, I kept my licenses up to date because it was not too expensive,
especially with the recently more agile release cycle. And FWIW: RunRev does
pay attention to the needs (e.g.  enhancements) of those opting in for the
dev program.

All in all, the last 6 months have been a pleasant experience - I think you
can see commitment from Heather's reactions as well.
