Steve,
Adobe sells ColdFusion in Australia under a channel model. Briefly the mechanics of this are 1. Adobe sells ColdFusion to distributors (the primary ones in Australia being Express Data and Ingram Micro) 2. Resellers buy ColdFusion from distributors 3. Resellers sell ColdFusion to end users. The only control point Adobe has is the price they sell ColdFusion to distributors. After this point naturally distributors make their margin and so do resellers. All this means you are likely to see a large range of prices for the same software and Adobe has no control over this. I hope this helps you understand the differences you are seeing. I'd be happy to discuss this further with anyone who has further queries Best Mark Technical Director, Pacific Adobe Systems ________________________________ From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Onnis Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 1:09 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Plug: Australian ColdFusion Channel Pricing Announced How is it that yours are cheaper than Rocketboots? ________________________________ From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Taco Fleur Sent: Thursday, 2 August 2007 1:00 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Plug: Australian ColdFusion Channel Pricing Announced May I add to that with the following info; ColdFusion MX8 Pricing New license Commercial license, ColdFusion MX8 Standard $1699 Inc.

Please keep your hats on) the pricing thread: Enterprise price increased 28%, Standard 2.5%. If the thread is going to go on, let's at least have a good look at the new Enterprise features and keep the "I think ColdFusion should be free, no dammit they should pay me to use ColdFusion, AND it should be open source" discussion to another thread.
