Does >anybody here know what it costs to upgrade WebCatalog?First off, I don't see how your WebCatalog 1.6.1 serial# could have expired...we don't make serial numbers that expire, unless you're talking about a demo.Second, if you were happy with WebCatalog 1.6.1 up until now, you may find that Typhoon is sufficient for your needs. Typhoon only supports a single database, just as WebCatalog 1.6.1 did (but Typhoon has no eCommerce features).We sent out thousands of emails (and phone calls and letters) to our registered customers back when we released 2.0, and offered very reasonable upgrade prices then. That was months ago, so those incentives are probably not valid any more. WebCatalog 2.0 introduced so many new features that it became comparable (and in many cases superior) to our competitor's $10,000 and $15,000 products, so we knew that it was a bargain at $2,495. This is not profit to us; we earn every penny in tech support and continuing engineering efforts. Unlike 1.6.1, the new product handles unlimited storefronts/databases, vastly superior flexibility, true multihoming, and numerous other goodies that make your site(s) profitable.While I am in engineering and cannot give you accurate pricing, robynw@smithmicro.com will instantly help you out, either on the phone or via email. She'll be in on Monday. I'm sure we can cut you a deal of some kind since you're already an owner of the previous product.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
