Registration
FretPet is not limited in any way. There are no nagging
messages reminding you to register. According to a
recent scientific study this means there is 80% less
probability that you will pay because I haven't followed
any of these measures. Let's see if statistical probability
wins over our shared love of Macs and music.
FretPet has the following pricing:
$ 15 each for 1-9 Single User Licenses
$ 10 each for 10 or more Single User Licenses
$200 each for Site Licenses
Don't buy 7, 8, or 9 licenses. It's cheaper to buy 10.
A Site License costs $200 (equivalent to 20 single users) and covers all
locations for your organization within a 160 kilometer radius of your site
(100 miles). One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to
keep track of how many people at your site are using the software. A
World-Wide License costs $400 and it covers all locations for your
organization on Earth.
