Xbase Linux Apps For Unlimited Users, Unlimited Sites
Dec 6th, 03:08 UTC
PlugSys International announces a more generous licensing model for its software. Starting with Max for Linux version 1.1, PlugSys supports unlimited users, sites and connections.
SAN LEANDRO, CA-
Responding to feedback from users of Max for Linux, PlugSys International
announces a more generous licensing model for its software. The initial releases
of Max for Linux SDK included a connection governor and required add-on
packs to expand connections. Starting with Max for Linux version 1.1,
PlugSys has removed any limitations on the numbers of users and connections.
With this new
licensing model, developers using Max for Linux can produce as many applications
as their skill and creativity will allow. Independent developers and VAR's may
freely distribute their applications to their customers without royalty obligations
to PlugSys. Corporate applications may be broadly distributed within their own
organizations internationally.
"The Linux development
community is seeking openness and transparency," said Marc Schnapp, PlugSys
Product Marketing Director. "Our new licensing model will be attractive for
developers producing cost-effective vertical applications and practical workgroup
solutions. By removing connection limitations, we simplify developer's lives
and dramatically reduce their cost of doing business."
PlugSys today
lays the cornerstone for cross-platform Xbase application development:
- New product
for 32-bit Microsoft platforms- Effective immediately PlugSys is posting
Max DOS32/W 1.0 Preview Edition, its compiler SDK for 32-bit Microsoft
Windows operating systems. Max DOS32/W permits developers to distribute
unlimited character-based applications using the same source code as written
for Max for Linux. A quick recompile of the source code is all developers
need do to produce Windows-hosted applications. ·
- Cross-platform
Universal License- To celebrate the release of Max DOS32/W, PlugSys
is offering a limited time cross-platform license. Developers can simultaneously
license the SDK for Linux and Win32 for $399 (US). This aggressively reduces
the cost of cross-platform development by $279. This offer is available for
licenses initiated any time until 11:59 pm, December 31, 1999 (Pacific Standard
Time).

PlugSys International
enjoys a decade of development experience based upon a predecessor product line
marketed in Brazil as Joiner. Joiner is still heavily used by DOS and SCO Unix
developers in that market. Max is the 32-bit successor with availability for
Microsoft's 32-bit Windows operating systems and for major Linux distributions.
