While this puts that fee a full 50% more than expected, at least it doesn't have to deal with this domain license issue.As far as the difficulty of selling the subdomain license to customers, should they opt to pay the lower than expected (at least by me) upgrade fee of $495, all I can say is that I personally would never tell a client that the 900$ they are about to pay for some work included $100 licensing fees. Its just a conversation that I wouldn't want to have with the client. But then again that's just me.It goes without saying that the 50% unexpected increase in the upgrade fee is going to delay our migration up to 5. That is unfortunate but a far cry less unfortunate than the $3,000 dollar upgrade to enterprise (which is more than we paid for the app to begin with) which would have stopped our long term support of the product (with little ambiguity there).So some positives among the negatives.Again, all one key-grunts opinions.
