F-Prot doesn't care.  They don't do volume as a plug-in to mail servers, they do it through desktop software.  F-Prot now has a software product for Exchange and their own spam and virus blocking gateway service offering.  Considering how cheap the client is, losing those sales is insubstantial to them.  It is true that they could have charged something more reasonable, especially considering that none of us are getting rich doing this stuff and every extra penny spent comes out of our pockets and not that of our clients, but so be it.  Most probably wouldn't have paid anything more than a couple of hundred dollars for their product regardless, so $500 or $5,000 is all the same in effect.

I think everyone on this list should email them telling them that you are not renewing.  I don’t think they have any idea of how much business they will lose.  If 100 people email them it may wake them up.  I wouldn’t hold my breath on that, but it can’t hurt to try.

we're looking into changing now also - there's no way we can afford to keep F-Prot at those rates..

 

I just do not understand why greed always has to set in when a product comes out that works great and is hassle free.  We've never had to contact them in the 5-6 years of using them for any issues at all.

I sent an email to F-Prot telling them that I am not renewing because of their price change.  They replied back basically saying they didn’t care and audios.

 

They are going to lose a lot of customers.  I guess they would rather not have a little money from a lot of customers instead of no money from a few customers.

This pricing is just another way of saying "Go Away".

Suggestions?
