Hmm, rather unpleasant, but quite expected surprise. I'm not sure that this model is what will work best for Alfresco and you guys in general (I am not a fan of "cripled" product based licensing), but, wht, it is your product to begin with, so I do wish you and your company best of luck.

I was unable to find pricing information on the site for a long time, you sholud perhaps move it from PDF to some more visible place.

Also, I can't find any info on partner programs and/or discounts, with this kind of new bussines agenda you are surely thinking of building a capable partner network.

As fselendic, I've been looking for your pricing policy and did not find it.

It's not funny to say "Hey guys, the features you need in your enterprise context are on sale !" when there is no price tag and when it is not possible to go meet the clerk with the product to ask for the price. (although it is fair as everybody needs to eat)

Enterprise version will only be available after the 1.0 release, am I right ?

We're in the process of getting the .com site built, so it is really a place-holder for the moment. The pricing is tucked away in one of the PDFs:
http://www.alfrescosoftware.com/pdf/AllProductsSummary_V5.pdf

I'm posting the following here just for clarity, we're keen for people to sign up, since you are right, we need to eat - but this isn't a sales pitch.

In summary:

Community Network (Open Source): free
Developer Network: $4.99 / 3.99 Euro per month per user
Professional Network: $9.99 / 7.99 Euro per month per user
Enterprise Network: $625 / 525 Euro per moth per cpu

Any queries, please follow up to sales at alfrescosoftware dot com.

Cheers
Paul.

Paul,

thanks for the information, I had problems with reaching the .com site.
Well, it works now 🙂

I'll do my best to convince my responsible to sign up as I want you to eat to keep up with your nice work.

Guys, from what I've seen, your sources are polished and methods have comments. All the more, you all respond quickly on forums. I think you deserve a pay rise too

thumbs up guys, really

Jerome

Hello,

I think the PDF is erroneous. The first page describe exactly the same you said. But the second page says that the "Open Network" version is free, "Community network" is 4.99/3.99 and "Developper Network" has disappeared.
