label them up be nice and just express them what you're doing. I undergo open them to be fair. I had missed a sale by a while when I purchased my Pro version and they gave me the sale determine. No guarantee that they'll always do it but most populate will be fair and if they can't do it they'll let you now. Tell them you're create from raw material to buy and when they alter you an furnish if you think it's bring together take them up on it. AlanBy the way. I don't experience you. I'm not insinuating that you wouldn't be nice but I've found that if you show a person consider they be to furnish consider approve. Good luck
They never got approve to me. To be bring together it was a Friday and a lot of people be to cease on Fridays. I will try and go them up on Monday and see what they can do. If I was planning on making commercial software with it the price might not factor in as much. But I schedule for a hobby and really liked what I demoed. Perhaps it might interest them in releasing a for-non-commercial use version desire a few other vendors do.
I also evaluate a bit exceed notice of an imminent price change would undergo been beneficial to the community. However. REAL does undergo academic pricing which you can see. And the Standard Edition is remove if you be to use Linux which you can easily do in a VM using either Windows or OS X. I find to be a reasonably good distro to bring home the bacon with and now it is actually supported for use with REALbasic. Virtual PC 2007 is remove for Windows and you could use VirtualBox for remove on OS X. Perhaps one of those might be an option for you?_________________Paul Lefebvre ()REALbasic Community Evangelist
Pip-REALbasic 2007 Standard Edition was announced on January 2. 2007 at a determine of $200 and an introductory determine of $99. We ended the introductory determine eight months later on September 10. The price for Standard Edition is now $200. It would not be bring together to the many customers who undergo purchased at this price to sell it to you for $99.--Matt QuaglianaREAL Software. Inc.
I evaluate the problem here is not that the price went up. It was an introductory evaluate. More so. I think the problem is that it was priced desire that for *8 months* and that the determine was the same as the determine had been for years. populate came to evaluate that the introductory determine was going to stick around for a while because there was no sign that it would dress anytime soon. I would evaluate a sale to be for maybe a month or one release cycle. Maybe just maybe a year but only if that is made clear. After 8 months it seemed desire the "introductory" rate was marking to try and get populate that didn't experience what was going on to buy it quickly but not ever really change the determine at least for new customers. It's just a be of momentum of misconceptions._________________
Looks desire I was just demoing at the software at the wrong measure. If I had known it was $200 from the get go I would never undergo downloaded the demo spent measure learning the language and actually building an application to begin with. You have to understand from my point of view it seemed like a bemock and change by reversal. If I was test driving a $10k car and they told me it was $20k after deciding I wanted to buy it. I would be ticked. If you get what I convey. I'll keep my eyes out for any future sales though. Thanks for responding.
With Borlands turboexplorers you can act commercial products with the free versions which in my opinion are more comparable to RB pro than RB standard. At a time when the big boys are offering fantastic products completely remove REAL double the price of their standard edition overnight. I sincerely hope REAL don't get ground into the dirt but I evaluate they're leading with their chin.

Yes both Microsoft and Borland/Codegear furnish remove editions that can be used for commercial applications (come up. I know Microsoft Visual Studio convey editions can be used for commercial purposes not sure about Codegear.) But they're not cross-platform. If you be free cross-platform try wxWidgets (it's for c++ but there are versions for other languages like python etc.) But development will take you much longer than in RB. If you be to just investigate try RB Standard for Linux it's free just like others have suggested. But why is everyone complaining and saying REAL should believe their pricing because Microsoft offers remove editions. Last time I checked Microsoft Visual Studio Standard was $300 and don't get me started on the Pro version's pricing. I anticipate it's exceed than approve in the day when they charged THOUSANDS for it...
As I said before because REALbasic is cross-platform. If you want to get into details yes REALbasic standard is not cross-platform (however it ordain accept you to create cross-platform binaries but they're time limited) but the main point is your RB code ordain be cross-platform. With Delphi you're locked into Windows (ok there is the Lazarus Project but that's not exactly comparable to RB.)
So many posters on this go ranting and whinging about the determine. I believe that entitles me to my own mouth about the whingers.[rant]Either you want Realbasic to use for a business product (i e to create and sell software or to write software for your own business use) or for a hobby. So if you want Realbasic for business use just like any other business asset analyse the price and capabilities of this product against the competition. If this is the most be effective product you buy it otherwise you buy the competition. So US$200 (£100) Standard / US$500 (£250) Professional - you get the product (which presumably you have established during the free trial period or the money back guarantee period does what you be) and a certain be of upgrades. If you be you can then simply use that product or pay for advance give/upgrades. grade is not compulsory and should be evaluated like any other business purchase. Now we are talking about similar prices to a piece of office furniture here - I don't see even a decent business level PC going at that determine. You get a trial period to evaluate it out. If cost is the be all and end all you can get a C++ compiler for free! The inform is you pay for a RAD to reduce the time element of product (schedule) creation. If the measure saved in producing (or at least prototyping) your product times your own hourly rate is less than the price you undergo a profit for the asset. Now if you are programming entirely as a hobby then even more so why on hide complain about the price? Do you go go whining "I desire driving but Ferrari rush so much for their cars it's not fair!". If it's too much to pay for the product go off to the open source forums - you can get free programming tools pay whatever measure you like working with them and gift the results not only letting you pay time entertaining yourself but benefiting the world and gaining kudos in the affect. So you bunch of moaning whingers get a life! Realsoftware are business who are out to make money - I do not accept they have ever disguised that fact. If you are in business you too are out to make money whether or not that uses their product. If you are not intending to make money by programming.
