I'm sorry to say that I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to read these forums in a while. But when I noticed this poll I had to respond.

We first started using PWB... 3 years ago I think (I forget), and when I first found it and asked to purchase it from my supervisor he nearly fell over at how cheap the site license was.

I think this product is invaluable for the services we offer, I use it on every public PC we have in some very creative (I think) installations that are a testament to just how flexible and powerful the software is.

I have no doubt that some people using this software don't use it in as wide a scope as we do. But for any organisation who uses PWB on lots of computers I think they would willingly pay even more for the software. Have you considered creating two tiers of site licenses based on volume Scott?

Of course I say this with the objectivity of someone who doesn't pay the bills, I just pass them on to our finance department. But to be fair, what we pay for 1 years site license with very excellent and timely service, some of our other software vendors would charge us for a simple system enhancement (like adding a button). When I wanted to look at adding print templates into the software you just did them straight away, and I know other vendors would have either laughed or came back with dollar signs in their eyes.

I think you are underselling yourself Scott :)

I think even if it went to $200 it would still be a good value.

Still sounds cheap to me. Especially with the amazing support you provide.

I agree

I've been using PWB for a few years now and it is by far the best investment we've made. You have also offered amazing support. Raising the price is more than fair.

I agree, it seems to be a fairly good deal for what it does, plus support too.
