You don't get security upgrades for these. It is a bad business practice, so businesses must expect to relicense eventually (or be forced to relicense, with heavy fines). Also, the first shot is always for free; the losses will be more than recovered once you're hooked good and proper. Quoting historical prices for the string of software licenses might be convince some that "dirt cheap" is much too expensive, on the long run. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
