As you saw, I described them a bit in a prev email that'll probably hit your box a few seconds after you sent this one. :-) I'll add that the <optional> IDE, Flex Builder is a separate charge. (It is based on Eclipse, and Mr. Green will be happy to hear I think they did a great job with it. I like it. It's not as good as if they'd used Intellij of course... but I digress. <grin>) If you need the "chart" components, they also cost a few hundred bucks per developer. > Also, does Flex require its own server?, or only requires it > to get some advanced feature set? Just to re-iterate...not anymore. You can deploy just the flash file. Or you can leverage the Data Services server-side component...J2EE, can drop it into an existing JVM. > BTW - (just an off-topic comment) per-CPU licensing terms > tend to be deal-breakers with gov't clients, who often have > machines with many CPUs. Yeah, I understand the logic in trying to charge based on CPU in that smaller folks pay less than massive apps. But it also hurts when two 4-CPU boxen are in use in a cluster for an app-farm and only 1 out of 200 might actually use flex. My understanding is that $20K/cpu is really just a starting point, so like the $35K sticker on a car, careful negotiation can probably hammer out a deal for far less. -Timo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
