And how about making older licenses readily available.
I'd like to have D1-D3 in the Standard Edition, D4 in
the Professional, and D5 in the Enterprise Edition.
These ideas won't bring in a huge amount of money,
but they might bring in a little for a relatively small amount
of work.
Not a bad idea at all. If they didn't make offering Delphi "personal"
so exclusive (a certain magazine at a certain time in a certain
place), I would upgrade using that. Like I've mentioned time and
again as a individual developer, paying D2006-type money for something
that is not generally a moneymaker for me is out of the question.
Besides, the package includes scores of things I would never use in a
million years (so does D3 Professional, really, but I gave a
reasonable amount for it when it was new).
It would be very good for DTG, IMO, to pick a reasonable older product
and sell it at a cut rate ($9 or 12 something on a bargain rack would
be great). Not necessarily for profit or sales, but to gain interest
in the product and possible sales in the future. Or even take the
current product and strip out all the enterprise trappings, leaving
the compiler, and make that available like Microsoft has made their
"Express" compilers.
