Zine, I take it you and other's who are praising Boonex for this have already purchased the old Smartpro license, or some other license that is transferable. For you it is a good deal, but unless this is changed, the rest of us got screwed. For some of use, $998 bucks is a lot of money, but you could get a lifetime Dolphin license for $100- a respectable deal for those of us who didn't like the Ray stuff. Now that same amount of money will give you the privilege of running your own application see more for 50 days. As Mastemindsro pointed out, we were promised that the new licensing would be "more affordable". As most people know here, Boonex has not done a real great job of keeping the commitments and promises they have made here, but I hope they are not breaking that one.
I think the 50 day license is plenty of time for any business to test the potential of their business model if that doesn't work you might have to re-evaluate your model. Or you could use the free version for awhile and have such great and compelling content that your customers don't mind/notice the boonex/dolphin links....
