I was very interested in your Multi-Remote Registry Change product
for an
upcoming project that I am working on, however I need clarification
on the
licensing.
I will be the only admin using the console,
however I am making 1 registry
change on about 2000 workstations.
Although I can foresee using the product
again in the future, I cannot
justify the cost of $2 per node for this one
project. Am I reading
the license agreement correctly stating that I will
need 1 Administrators
license and 2000 computer name license (with the
advertised 40% discount)?
Thank you for your time!

It certainly wasn't the first time we had heard from
customers that they really wanted to use Multi-Remote Registry Change for
a project, but could not justify the cost of a full license for that one
project. Since support for temporary licensing was already built
in to v3.5, we offered them the option of a single day license for $99 or
a week for $299.

Thanks for the quick response!
Well, I tend to be a
little stingy, however we are dealing with my companies
money
and not mine :-)
I am sure the thought of paying $99 for a
license and 1 or 2 hours of my
time would be greatly preferred over using
regedt32 and paying for 10-15 (or
more) hours of my time alone.
How long do you think it will be before this option can be ready to
roll?
Unfortunately this project is on a time line that is not very flexible.
It was already built in, so we let them know
and waited until that part of the project was on the agenda. When
they were ready, they filled out the order form and we sent them the temporary
registration key. After they used the program under the single day
license option, we asked a couple of questions about how it went and for
their thoughts on using it again:

Thank you for the follow up. MRRC did exactly what I needed
to do, and the
time/cost savings was well worth the cost of the product.
I can tell you
now that I will be in contact with you for future Reg.
projects and will
gladly recommend your product to anyone with this type
of issue in the
future.
