Once development has resumed, new customers will need to pay an additional surcharge for setting up the client area, as well as maintaining the license servers. This is a one time fee, after which, the recurring rate will remain the same.

We have already decided on a consortium to head things up, as well as promoted several forum users to admins, and developers. We have had several discussions about going open-source, but have opted to develop under a mixed licensing system, all developments made to already open-source packages we maintain, will continue to be open-source, all specific development with the core application(s) will continue on a pay-per-seat type of license.
