Another possible shake of the head moment :(

Is it correct that you're asking $355 so we can remove the showcase copyright information off our forums?

So it then pushes the total cost up to $750, which is frankly, ludicrous.

a charge of $99 I could accept as a cost for removing the branding. The reason I don't want it there is simple - if competitor sites found out what software I'm using it negates the benefits gained as they can buy it, install it and there's no differential again. As it currently is, you're basically asking for me to buy two copies of the software

Also, I almost hate to ask, are these prices annual or one time? I'm not normally this tight, but even VB don't charge that much for removal of the branding.

Again, I know why you want it there, it adds links to your site and is free advertising for you!

I know I'm moaning about prices with nearly every post, its making me feel bad!

Branding Free is a one time cost option.

We did look at what others charge for Branding Free options and determined on avg that the rate is ~90% of the cost of the base software. We priced accordingly.

Thinking about it, its probably really not that much of a problem anyway. They'd find out what we were using one way or the other.

Is the $395 a one time fee though... As the T&Cs talk about recurring charges etc... Which I guess is for the VT product, but I just wanted to make sure.

I'll answer my own question!

$249 is the cost to renew the license, you should put that on your website...
