programming knowledge. It's the perfect complement to the 4D Ajax  
Framework.


"Active4D is truly a beautiful product. I rarely give such praise.  
It’s a classic case of a complex piece of work wrapped in a simple and  
elegant covering. The power it gives to a developer is remarkable."

With the release of v4.5, Active4D is not only powerful but affordable!

        • Development is free as always
        • Deployment licenses are now only $270 per server, with unlimited  
usage and NO YEARLY FEES!

With all of the great time-saving features Active4D gives you and your

available, including hotfixes!

Aparajita,

I'm sorry but I'm still confused about the new products/options.

Here is my setup:

1) 4D Developer with 1 in house client, and multiple external clients

2) I no longer buy or have registered to me any Active4D Deployment  
Licenses. It is up to each client to renew the license

Questions:

1) What do I get with premium support?
2) Assuming I buy premium Support for myself as a devloper, can I use  
its "benefits" to support ALL my clients
3) Are .x release still free?
4) What constitutes a chargeable release? is the charge to me the  
developer or to the client i.e. would each client be required to order  
a new deployment key to use this version?

Let me know. Thanks, Michael.

Have you seen http://www.aparajitaworld.com/site/products/Active4D/licensing.php?
  That spells it out.

Yes, that is the idea.


> 3) Are .x release still free?

0.0.x (bugfix) releases are still free. Even with Premium Support,  
there may still be an upgrade fee for 0.x releases.


> 4) What constitutes a chargeable release? is the charge to me the

Each client would require a new key and would be required to pay any  
upgrade fee in the future. For v4.5 the licenses are entitled to an  
upgrade if they are up to date.

Hello A4Ders

For those of you using Fusebox, what version are you currently working  
with.   I have an upcoming web project that I am considering using  
Fusebox, and I am in the fact finding stages at this point.
