I don't see the point of this licensing change.

With the old licensing:
Business case A- people requiring a 2CPU license could buy it for $12 000,
Business case B- people requiring a 4CPU licence could buy it for $24 000,
Business case C- people requiring a 4CPU license + Gold support could buy it
for more than ~$29 000.

Everybody were happy.

With the new licensing:
Business case A- not anymore...???
Business case B- not anymore...???
Business case C (starter kit???)- people requiring a 4CPU license + Gold
support could buy it for $29 000 (no big change compared to old licensing)

This new pricing looks really strange to me, I don't see any improvement, it
answers less business cases.
The contrary would have been a much clever move:
Business case D - people requiring a 1CPU license could buy it for $6 000 (a
real starter kit...).

I suppose that Macromedia made some statistics/business plan before to
confirm this new pricing (but it looks like they are going to loose so many
opportunities).

Flex was already very difficult to sell based on its old price.

Strange... I don't understand...

4CPU? Why on earth would someone like to use that on precompiled stuff?
