| | Posted: | | | | My vote goes for the option #4. Why ? simple; this program is the main job of Ken (if I remember corectly) so his working time is dedicated to this sofware. So, I see no problem to repay for a new version when the version will be out. Think about it, some years ago I bought NHL Hockey from EASport (1997 is the first) and bought the new version each following year untill 2000. If I follow the logic of some user Electronic Arts had to give me the new version each year free of charge because I already bought a version 10 years ago ... Don't make me And what represent the prize of one DVD when you already have more than 800 of them ? |

And what represent the prize of one DVD when you already have more than 800 of them ? Puhlease. How can you compare a new version of a video game with a program enhancement? According to your logic, every time a feature or enhancement is added to DVD Profiler, you would like to pay an additional $20.00? Then owe Ken $40.00 already as there have been 2 new versions since 3.0 was released in March. You'll owe him another $20.00 soon when 3.03 comes out of beta and is released as 3.04. This program could end up costing you $100s . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

That would be $20 for 3.x, theoretically and $20 for 4.x when we get there.

| | Posted: | | | | My opinion, and has been for years (and I have just recently posted it here) is a combo of the above options:
1 time fee for the software (be it the actual price or other) + an yearly fee for additional (online) services.
Call it My Profiler Plus or whatever.
I'd immediately go for it and subscribe it. | | | | With every passing hour our solar system comes forty-three thousand miles closer to globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules, and still there are some misfits who continue to insist that there is no such thing as progress. | | | | Last edited: by Skywatcher |

| | Posted: | | | | If Ken ever decides to go the route of a $20.00, or whatever, upgrade fee for major version releases, which I think would be reasonable, how 'bout a discount for regularly contributing users? Afterall, the database is created by our contributions and what would this program be without it? | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | That's why I don't go for the Major upgrade re-buy so much. There are a lot of if's and but's. Starting with what would be a major upgrade anyway (of course that would be for Ken to decide).
I'm more for the subscription scheme. Whomever didn't like it could not subscribe and keep the basic services. Whoever wanted more, would jump for the subscription (yearly, monthly, whatever).
Something like Step 1: freeloaders (basic features, with limits from a certain point onwards). Step 2: Registered users (basic features, no limitations). Step 3: Subscribers (extra features). | | | | With every passing hour our solar system comes forty-three thousand miles closer to globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules, and still there are some misfits who continue to insist that there is no such thing as progress. |
