XAF, Licensing, and the New DXperience Universal SKU

Seems fair enough to me and at least I don't have to worry about it until July 2008 :-)

Sounds ok to us.  We'll be in.

Is upgrading from Professional an option? I was going to upgrade to enterprise in February, but would like XAF.

>>If you currently own DXperience Enterprise and if that license has not expired, you will receive a free one year license to eXpressApp Framework. At the time of renewal of your DXperience Enterprise license, we will offer you the option to upgrade to DXperience Universal (the current renewal cost for DXperience Enterprise is $499.99 so to upgrade to DXperience Universal, you'll be asked to pay $799.99 instead).<<

This is very fair Ray, and gives us ample time to see if XAF fits into our strategy or not.

Simple and sweet license!

"In the coming months, we will be adding additional services within the DXperience Universal..."

Can we have an idea of what will these additional services be ? That will help make the decision when it's time to upgrade.

Just an idea, not necesarrily the exact thing. Not sure I will upgrade just for XAF, but if there is more, why not ...

I'm in for this - seems fair enough.

I am a little in disagreement with this new licensing policy, since this product was contemplated in the subscription Enterprise. A free year as you are not enough repayment.

In Mexico, unfortunatelly the company does not pay the enougth to the developers. :(.

Very fair way!

Personally, I am really pleased, because I have renewed my enterprise subscription three weeks ago :)

Are there any plans to make this available for VCL as wel ?

Will your WPF and Silverlight controls be included in Enterprise only or will the be part of Universal only?

While I understand the pricing policy, it would have been nice from Devexpress to announce this a few days BEFORE changing its price.

That could have allowed some of us to make some purchasing decisions.

Alan, WPF will be part of the ULTIMATE Subscription (it will contain all the Universal content + WPF,   it will be charged $ 2,499 for purchase and $999 for renewal) . (Please note that this is just sarcasm and does not express the devex team's plans or opinion) :p

My question would be: will WPF be available to valid Enterprise subscriptions 'till they expire and require a renewal?

Thanks!  (And merry christmas)

Of first reading....

I swear that I already had believed it....

:p

According to the following:

Active DXperience Enterprise Customers

If you currently own DXperience Enterprise and if that license has not expired, you will receive a free one year license to eXpressApp Framework. At the time of renewal of your DXperience Enterprise license, we will offer you the option to upgrade to DXperience Universal (the current renewal cost for DXperience Enterprise is $499.99 so to upgrade to DXperience Universal, you'll be asked to pay $799.99 instead). If you choose not to renew your license or to upgrade to the Universal SKU, you are free to use any of the products for which you were licensed - as long as you so desire (this applies to any Developer Express subscription).

This means I should be able to upgrade/renew on or before 1/25/08 for 799.99 (... asked to pay $799.99 *instead*). However on the special offers tab it is insisting I pay 1159.99. This seems incorrect. Perhaps there is a problem with your site?

Any insight on this would be most helpful

What happened with the "Free year" that Enterprise subscribers got from the original promotion. I was an enterprise customer when this offer was published, for consecuence i must to have the "free year...".. but.. if my subscription was promoted or upgraded to universal... what happening?.. any refuse?.. or something for the style... this question has not prelies yet.

Thank you
