I suspect we have a discrepancy in terms here. My interpretation of "site
license" is that the number of machines using the software doesn't matter.
Any machine at the site/in the company (depends on wording) is licensed to
use the software for a single, set, all inclusive price. Everything I have
seen on this thread so far talks about a "25 user site license". This to me
is an oxymoron. The terms are contradictory. It don't compute. It don't
make no sense.
When Minisoft sells a site license, it is just that. a single payment made
to them which allows the buyer to run the product on as many machines as
they wish, period. I have repeatedly been told that WRQ doesn't (and won't)
offer that type of license. Have they now changed?
Remember, that Minisoft also includes the TCP-IP stack as a part of the
vanilla product, not as an extra cost option as does WRQ.
I have no interest in Minisoft other than being a very happy customer. I
was a very happy customer of WRQ (owned PC-2622 serial number 120) for many
years, until the price forced me elsewhere. I am just concerned that there
is some misunderstanding in the terms being used in the discussion.
