Joshua, >From what I can tell, it's just the handiest way to draw a bright line between larger corporate customers and small developers/businesses. They want to keep prices as low as possible for the latter in order to build the market, and then make most of their money by hitting up the former for extra cash. The alternative would be arcane per-seat licensing and so on, which is annoying to the user and a pain to audit for the server provider. Or they could charge everyone a middle-ground price that drives away small developers, a very unappealing thought. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL community-powered weblogs & diaries work: http://journurl.com/ blog: http://admin.support.journurl.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
