BizBroadcast License Changes and what to expect: -Existing BizBroadcast license will be grandfathered in for a period of time. -New BizBroadcast licenses are on a subscription bases requiring a 1 year upfront commitment, which will renew each year. -All new licenses will be a subscription licenses that will be on a machine by machine bases, not licensed by users. -The new license subscription version will associate each license with a machine and an ID, if you want to change machines, you will be able to deactivate the license on your existing machine and reactivate it on your new one. -If you are an existing BizBroadcast user and want to add-on an additional license, you will be given an activation code for ALL BizBroadcast license, previous and new, to move to the subscription model to expose all users, previous and new, to all the new released updates. Please feel free to reach out if i can assist with any more questions!

Hanna how were the old licenses sold? This doesn't seem that that big of a change unless it's a $$ difference

The old license's were sold perpetually. Meaning, the purchases OWNED the software and paid manually for support. On subscription, it's like you are ""renting"" the software and will get the support bundled in as long as you are renewing your subscription. There is a difference in price, we created a pricing model that is a little something for everyone (ex: cash flow, switching systems, testers, or want to out right buy).

What will the BizBroadcast subscription cost be?

$780 a year, $65 a month

Hanna how many licenses does someone need -- if I have a CFO who is the main person doing the reporting and needs to email the board or company management -- would they need just one BizBroadcast license (for the sender) ? Or do they need them for people who are receiving the reports as well?

Wayne- in the above instance, you would need 1 license(for the sender), correct. You do not need a BizBroadcast license to RECEIVE the emails or view the files.

Perfect thanks

@HannaHubbs Will the rest of the BizNet catalog be offered with subscription pricing? Is this only the BizBroadcast function or is it only BizBroadcast for now?

@BrianRice, BizBraodcast and BizInsight Desktop Edition are the only subscription offerings at the moment. The whole BizNet Suite will eventually be going to subscription.
