- Does this mean I will have to pay $99 dollars to get the freely
- redistributable Runtime, Module or will it be legal/possible to use the
- Runtime Module without upgrading to AmigaVision Professional?
-
- I have a hard time justifying spending $99 dollars on the upgrade when the
- current version of AmigaVision is meeting my needs and all I want to do is
- distribute a few educational flows I have written. It hardly seems worth
- distributing them if I don't have a runtime player.
-
- A suggestion for C=. If I am not able to use the runtime player without
- upgrading to AV Pro, how about making the player available at an
- affordable price? Say $20-$30 dollars.
-
- As a side note, I did see the the demonstration of AmigaVision Pro at the
- WOC in Pasadena and the improvements/additions look great, but I can't
- justify spending the money to upgrade right now.
