RE: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?

I think the critical factor is the first flex project. That’s what will make or break the perception of bean counters. Usability improvements, reduced development costs, look and feel all come into play. That very first project needs to make a statement…or you may be up the creek the next time you go to the till for licensing cash.   -Stace   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rick Bullotta Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 10:42 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?   Agree with you.  But 125K for a system that would be deployed broadly and may be “mission critical” would seem tiny – probably the same as the janitorial budget for a day or two.    I also agree with your choice of wording in “seemingly free alternatives…”.  J   - Rick From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Anthony Merryfield Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 10:38 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: If I buy a flex license can I host other peoples apps on the license?   Depends what you're comparing. If I was a technical beancounter looking at the cost of Flex, comparing it to open source solutions and then seeing what our application requirements were; I'd be asking why we were spending ANY thousands of pounds on proprietary software over seemingly free alternatives. Especially since...   "We were going to buy something like 8 or 14 additional licenses to the multitude we already have, and the pricing is just totally ridiculous for what we need it for."   ...I'd be asking why you need more licenses if you are not using it to it's fullest potential yet?   To be fair, we're making judgements on one piece of a puzzle - maybe Jon could expand on his statement before we sit here waxing lyrical about his companies policies?   T. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
