New Community Server Licensing Document Released

[update] The community is jumping in over here and the reaction is about what I expected. The MVPs are weighing in with their opinions on a seperate thread as well...it is very much worth mentioning that Rob Howard and Co are actively listening, so feel free to chime in if you have an opinion/suggestion/etc. [/update]

Earlier today, Rob Howard released the new licensing scheme (direct link [.pdf]) for Community Server 2007.  I won't venture into too much detail until that document is finalized (which it may already be), but I'm concerned over the limitations set forth for the personal edition: The blog/gallery count is too low, but my main concern is in the number of mirrored feeds allowed, plus if you follow my guidelines for setting up a mirrored content section you burn one of your available blogs.  You can purchase 50 pack blog/gallery/mirror licenses at 100USD each which is fairly reasonable, but I feel each tier should be shifted up one level.  I'm curious to see what the community reaction will be. 

Regardless, CS 2007 is shaping up to be a killer release from some of the internal betas that I've seen.

It could be reasonable, but it requires a standard license (400$), since the personal does not allow to add any pack.

About Jayson Knight

Jayson Knight was clueless to the computer programming world until he took a C++ class in college. The rest is proverbial history. He has been building applications targeting the .Net framework for 7 years, focusing mainly on internet technologies and database driven web application development.

Most recently he left the world of Corporate IT to finish up his degree in Chemistry, with an eye on Medical School and an Anesthesiology residency program. Read this post for more information.

He is also a Community Server MVP: Community Server is the software that runs this site, plus many others on the web. For more information, check out http://csmvps.com.

When he finds time to pry himself away from his computer and university studies, he can be found on the mountain bike trails when it's warm, and on the ski slopes when it's cold.
