We were a Webtrends customer until their latest round of pricing change. We were paying about $4K a year in maintenance costs - but than they changed their pricing model as you indicate. It would have costed us about 25 times our normal maintenance cost to continue with 7.0 due to our page view volume. Long story short we are parting ways after our one year grace period of 7.0 ends. I can't really say I am sad - for a high volume site (90+ million page views) I have always had issues keeping the product stable. Unless everything was limited data corruption seemed to be a frequent issue. Boy was I thankful for the archive function in it. Darrell --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
