>>The prices are different based on the type of license one purchases. Do I have this correct? << Yes, but there are actually 3 tiers in the KineModelz plan: CONSUMER no commercial use PROSUMER limited commercial use PROFESSIONAL unlimited commercial use And the first two tiers would be upgradeable for the simple difference in cost. >>How are you able to discern how one uses the noncommercially licensed versions? As you are well aware and as I have said often – WEASELS ABOUND! << Here's the issue, the way I see it, Bob.– Is it better to charge one high flat rate, thereby restricting the number of users who have access to the models, OR better to have different permits, more users, and some violations? Although it will be somewhat difficult to enforce the latter, I've chosen to give it a try because I want the models to be more accessible. And I hope to minimize problems of misuse by carefully controlling distribution, making sure users understand precisely what permit they have, and religiously registering all users, perhaps with occasional checkups to verify compliance. (No dongles are planned though.) Since my user base is likely to remain rather small, I think such a plan is feasible. It's an experiment, I admit. And it may fail, but I'm willing to give it a shot because I'm not satisfied with the higher flat-rate approach, and lower standard prices would probably put me out of business. For further elaboration on this, see my most recent message to Anigrafix in this same thread. >>I'm on your side, I want you to get as much money as possible for your hard work.<< Right back atcha. -Tim
