>>>Fine, but the product is still not fully finished - it's a work in progress. WinDev (amongst others) is a finished and polished product in all respests from IDE to distribution, for all platforms WIndows to Apple to Linux to Andorid to iOS. It has a long history of development and refinement starting with version 1 20+ years ago and sitting at version 17 now. It has every 3rd party tool I have ever used in VFP built right in (about 30 I can think off easily). One simple price to buy the IDE of choice and royalty free distirbution of the exe and internal database.

>>Hi Jos,

>>what's the pricing policy on new versions of win/web/mobile dev? If I purchase version 17, do I get all updates to that version for free and then have to by version 18 when it comes out?

>You get updates to the purchased version for free and you get a discount price for the next version. You can skip versions.

>Different IDE versions (desktop, web, mobile) are seperate products but all resonably priced imo.

>No royalties for distirbution.

>Additional fees - the web version has one aditional once-off fee per server to handle more than 10 concurrent users to a WebDev database-driven website. Again, very reasonable - I think its US$250 for an unlimited user license per web server. The 10 concurrent user license for web sites is free. You can check their website for pricing.

PMFJI, I was wondering (not a trick question). Is there an advantage for someone, who already done work in ASP.NET and fairly comfortable with C# and using MS VS, to use WinDev for web applications? TIA.
