No, your customers will not need a separate LightSpeed licence, unless they start doing their own development using LightSpeed (e.g. if you hand over source code for their IT department to maintain). You can freely deploy the LightSpeed runtime as part of your product.

In our case we deploy our product on the client site.
We are planning to get the lightspeed 3.0 developer licenses for the development team but are not sure of the implications for our customers.
Does that mean that our customers will also have to purchase a separate lightspeed license for using our product?

Hi Joan,

Unfortunately we cannot offer a free upgrade, but we do have a 50% discounted upgrade price available to 2.x users who purchased over 12 months ago. You can take advantage of this in the store at http://www.mindscape.co.nz/store/myaccount.aspx.

I hope that helps.

@Pablo Glad to hear you appreciate it :-)

@Joe That is what the change means, yes. This should be useful for services companies and for developers who generally provide services to several companies.

I hope that helps :-)

Does this mean that if I create three different web sites for three different companies and I am the only developer that my total cost is $199?

Haven’t had a chance to play with 3.0 yet as I’ve been busy with other things, but just like to say I’m very impressed with the fact that we got a free upgrade due to buying in the last 12 months. Ta very muchly.
