Hello!
Yes, = pricing has been changed two years ago, in January 2015, so
there is = only one version of the FastCGI that can run (fast) in

On = another side, there is the server version (unlimited services,
unlimited = domains for one single machine) which is the old
"Enterprise" = version for $459, and the Developer version which is
free.
About the question "This method is not = suitable to update WebDNA and

The installation process relies on the = position of directories,
apache user, = dependencies version, and each LINUX OS has his own
formula for = this. Moreover, each LINUX OS might change the formula
from one = version to the other. Apache Software Foundation will also
change the = rules from time to time. We have to adapt and we provide
installers = for the major LINUX distributions. However, from a

installer = modifications. Making installers intelligent enough to

version Y is = doable, but not financially viable. You can do the
installation = yourself, as basically, installing WebDNA server is a

Finally, the version 6, from = 2004 and 6.2 in 2008, is still available

Happy = New Year to all,
