This pricing structure is in outer space.</p> <p>While KBP is a wonderful application, it's not worth almost a buck an article.</p> <p>I hope you take the time to sit down and re-think your pricing structure. I'd buy this application in a hot second if the pricing wasn't so unreasonable for what you get from the starter revision.</p> <p>$50 would be reasonable if you dropped the article limit completely or increased it (say 10-20 times)</p> <p>I'd expect to pay $100 for the basic version (with a massively increased article limit), not the starter version. </p> <p>Good job on KBP.

I'm wondering whether it might be a very good idea to get early adopters to use it with special pricing and figure out by then. I also think you'll have a serious challenge getting people to pay $100 for software that will only allow posting of 100 articles. I won't name other FAQ/knowledge managers that are competitive but they do the job. I think the product is excellent and would look forward to both using it and recommending it but at this time I may stick with what I have unless swayed. </p> http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/topic/pricing-details#post-56 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:01:04 +0000 onesign 56@http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>There are no limitations on beta version except it will expire on 15 of April<br /> (it stops working at all) </p> <p>We do not recommend beta version for live site. </p> <p>&gt; And also, is there a risk that it will expire prior to the<br /> &gt; release of the commercial version in April?</p> <p>Theoretically it is possible, but we do all our best to have stable version by 15 of April. </p> http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/topic/pricing-details#post-55 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 23:32:04 +0000 ihubling 55@http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>Onesign,</p> <p>I had additional questions - which I thought might benefit other readers, so I'm posting them here. Assuming that I will be purchasing the commercial version (i.e. version 3.0), and I go ahead and install and run the version 3.0 beta, are there any limitations to it? (nag screens, limited entries, etc.) And also, is there a risk that it will expire prior to the release of the commercial version in April?</p> <p>Bottom line - I don't want to start the conversion to Version 3 too soon - but I also don't want to wait if I don't need to.</p> <p>Thanks. </p> http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/topic/pricing-details#post-42 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 13:16:13 +0000 onesign 42@http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>Yes, we offer special pricing for Academic and Non Profit Organizations.<br /> Please contact us via email. </p> http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/topic/pricing-details#post-39 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 17:24:15 +0000 ihubling 39@http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>Will you be offering special pricing for registered charitable organizations?</p> <p>We are a small organization with all-volunteer staff, and an audience that spans the world - with an incredibly low annual budget for outreach.

And this effervescence of discussions generates a continuous development for the product. Closing the code in version 3 and making it commercial will be gradually destroying all this creative potential of the community a product that naturally seek alternative because it is true that you will not be able to care for the paid version and the commercial. Who currently uses KbPublisher besides liking of the software is the philosophy of not paying licensing but only services. The niche market is this. Imagine if the community that created the Apache make the code closed. Naturally there will be a rejection and the search for an alternative product. For this appeal to review the position to make new versions trade because this type of initiative can have the opposite effect of undermining the use of KbPublisher. Linus Torvalds, Rasmus Lerdorf, Phil Zimmerman, among others, chose the path of free software, nor why not successful professional.<br /> Whether or not the maintenance of its decision to make the new versions wait by commercial success and thank, now, this excellent product produced by you which is patrimony of humanity.</p> <p>Carlos </p> http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/topic/projected-release-date#post-26 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:35:49 +0000 CarlosAlbertoCdaSilva 26@http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>When version 3 will be available on the website of the community of Kbpublisher?<br /> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbpublisher/" rel="nofollow">http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbpublisher/</a> </p> http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/topic/projected-release-date#post-21 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 05:43:30 +0000 onesign 21@http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>The production release is scheduled for April 15th. </p> http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/topic/projected-release-date#post-14 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 14:56:36 +0000 ihubling 14@http://www.kbpublisher.com/forums/ <p>What is the projected release date of the commercial version of KBPublisher?
