Enterprise Edition

There will be no price change for the Enterprise Edition. However, the Enterprise Edition will now offer significant additional value over other editions (Support, Assistance, unlimited servers and CPU, unlimited developers).

Standard Edition

The price of the Standard Edition will increase significantly. However, the maintenance price will not change so that current Standard Edition License's owner will not be impacted by this change.

For those who are not interested by the new features available in the Standard Edition starting from version 3.1, it will even be possible to downgrade to the new Group Edition License at renewal time and therefore renew their maintenance for half the price of the Standard Edition License maintenance price.

Group Edition

The new Group Edition License which basically has all the feature of the current Standard Edition (though limited to 2 CPU), will represent our new entry level offer at the price of the current Standard Edition License and with a Maintenance price which is half the price of the current Standard Edition License maintenance price.
