| My whole take on this price is that it's more than what I paid for Windows 10. I don't use it all the time and I don't use it at home. That is unless I'm remoted into my work machine then I will use it. Don't get me wrong. It's a great piece of software and it's saved myself many, many times. But my company won't pay for anything like this but I'm a firm believer in paying for something I feel is very useful. I would pay $50-$60 for the full version, but for something I only use at work, $150 USD is quite high. Now as I said in a private email I feel the developers are due some money for their hard work and continuing efforts. I'd like to pay something to show my gratitude. If I am left only with the community version, so be it. But if the price for the full version were lowered significantly, I'd buy it. And as I am reading throughout this forum, I think there are many others that feel the same way. One way to look at it is this. Would the developer want to get 10 $50 Full-featured licenses that net $500, or 10 community licenses that net $0? I don't know the averages of how many people pay for the full license so I can't venture a guess that out of, let's say 10 licensese that are distributed, how many are free and how many paid the $150? Based off the responses I'm reading there are a lot of community licenses going out, but some want to pay the developer for their efforts. I know I do!  That's my take on it. I can see both sides. I just believe in pricing it aggressively to make it affordable so those that want to pay for it, can afford it. $150 is out of reach for me. Good luck and thank you for having an open forum discussion about this topic. |
