@hahoffman Thanks again for your early feedback about volume discounts and i wanted to let you know how you helped contribute to our final price structure for .NET Reflector. As i mentioned above there will be no bulk discounts on .NET Reflector Standard but we will be offering bulk discounts on volume licenses of .NET Reflector VS and .NET Reflector VSPro. In addition to the 25% discount for site licenses of 100 users or more we are now offering, a 15% discount for 50+ users and youâ€™ll get a 10% discount for teams of 10 or above. You can see the full volume pricing structure at: http://www.reflector.net/documentation/ ... structure/ and we welcome any more questions about licensing or pricing on the forum Thanks again for your help.[url][/url] / comments

@hahoffman Thanks so much for adding your question here on the forum. I apologise personally for the delay in our original reply. As you can imagine this has been a very busy few days for us as we've tried to digest the huge amounts of feedback and reaction to this decision. Your original question is amongst the most popular from existing Red Gate customers and other interested parties. Hannah was previously replying on the information she had at the time but I would like to take the opportunity to revise her answer a little. It is true that we wonâ€™t be offering any volume discounts on the $35 version of Reflector so it will be $35 for a 1 user license, $350 for a 10 user license, and $3500 for a 100 user license. We envisage that a company thinking about buying a 100 user license of .NET Reflector will have very little issue paying $3500 â€“ even if budget is a key concern. The same goes for a regular sized development team paying $350 for a 10 user license. The revision: Based on a large volume of feedback we have now decided to revise our policy on volume pricing for the other two versions of .NET Reflector. We are now planning a 25% discount on the per user price for a 100 user license of .NET Reflector VS and VSPro. A 25% discount on 100 licenses of .NET Reflector VSPro would give a total cost of $7,125. This would cover a large group of developers with the very best version of .NET Reflector. We are also reconsidering volume discounts for smaller teams wanting to get the premium products. WTS We still really like the simplicity of the $35 price structure for teams on a budget or only interested in the basic functionality of Reflector. This structure means we are not pressuring smaller organisations or teams into purchasing more licenses than they really need. Thanks again for your feedback and I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on this. I will post any extra updates to pricing here. / comments

Ian Thanks for posting on Jay Grieves blog. Jay will be choosing who to give the free licenses to at the end of this week and will give you further instructions on how to get your free license if you are chosen. We really appreciate what Jay has done and we are currently looking for others that might like to do the same in various other corners of the world. AndreyS Thanks for your question Andrey. You can download a copy of .NET Reflector that will remain free until the 30th of May. You need to make sure you download that version before the release of Version 7 in early March. For more information please see the links in the following post: http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/vi ... hp?t=12698 / comments

Hi Ian, Reflector will be licensed per user not per machine but there is a limit on the number of activations. In the case of Reflector Pro this is currently 2 activations per user but you can request more by filling in a form inside the tool. You can also deactivate and reactivate machines using our deactivation tool. We plan for the standard version of Reflector to work in the same way. More information can be found here: http://www.red-gate.com/supportcenter/L ... 0Reflector / comments

@all Thanks again for taking the time to post guys and we really appreciate your voice here. As you can imagine we have been receiving a hell of a lot of feedback over the past few days but this particular thread around licensing and pricing has been the most popular with all our interested parties. I have just answered @hahaoffman on the following thread: http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/vi ... hp?t=12718 regarding some revisions to our policy for volume pricing based on the feedback we have been receiving. I will reply to the other questions from JimF and Chris.Miller below. / comments

Chris Miller Hey Chris, as I mentioned in my reply to @hahaoffman (linked above) we have had vast amounts of customer feedback in the past few days from customers interested in purchasing .NET Reflector V7. Your questions around licensing were the top topic and as such we may make some revisions to the way our licensing is going to work now and in the future. We have had a number of painful licensing situations described to us across large and small organisations and it is really important to us that licensing in Reflector does not get in people's way. This will be a top priority for us and we will be working hard to launch V7 with something that works for a large %age of the market. If any customer has a particular niche case that they would like to discuss before purchasing there will be a form on our website and our team will do the best to tailor make a solution. Hannahâ€™s comments and your first guess from earlier are essentially still true. All versions of Reflector will remain licensed per user and individual users will be able to activate licenses on a number of machines. So you buy x users with x activations each. Clearly the second x is the important number here and we are going to revise what that should be before .NET V7 is launched. Regardless of how many x you start with you will still be able to request more activations (for free) by simply filling in a form and hitting send. You will also be able to deactivate your own licenses when you remember so that you can reactivate them on another machine. I realise the second solution above is not ideal for people using multiple VMâ€™s and it would certainly feel like a hassle for me to have to remember to deactivate my Reflector license every time I wanted to rebuild a machine. If it is clear that customers are having problems with licensing it will become our top priority. In the meantime our solution will be to tweak the edge cases for customers that the current solution does not fit. Chris, thanks again for kicking off the conversation here and we really appreciate your feedback. / comments

JimF Thanks for posting. All our current customers of the Red Gate .NET Developer Bundle (Purchased after February 2010) already have a perpetual license of .NET Reflector Pro. All of those with a current support and upgrades contract will be able to upgrade to .NET Reflector VSPro for free as part of their contract. / comments

Thanks for your question Chris. At the moment a site license would cost $35 x the number of licenses. / comments

Thanks for your question JV. Bart has updated our position on Mono support here: http://www.red-gate.com/messageboard/vi ... aa433c08b0 Unfortunately we donâ€™t provide links to older versions of Reflector as they would all be expired once opened. / comments
