Hi

I bought Fastreport V2.51 about a month ago. What is the upgrade policy.

Thanks

All registered users of FastReport 2.xx will receive FastReport 3.0 BE for free.

Whats the cost on fr3 going to be like?

Prices are not formed yet.

Upgrade 2.51->3.0 is for free - OK, but... I wouldn't mind paying a small amount for this upgrade if it contains major improvements and you'd engage a student from this money (some hours a week) maintaining the forum

Anyway - I really like FR 2.51 so I'm shure to upgrade to 3.0 independent from costs.

Kind regards,

Mark

Free is only FR2.51->FR3.0 BE (basic edition). All other editions (standard, pro, ee) will not be free.

What's differences between editions ( basic edition, standard, pro, ee) ?

basic: no run-time designer, no scripts, no dialog forms, no sources (users of FR2.x get this version for free)
std: no run-time designer, no sources (users of FR2.x who also bought FastScript get this version for free)
pro: no sources
ee: everything included

It's like a car manufacturer who saied you will get our new super model for FREE but without engine and without wheels. But it's for FREE.
NO thank you.

Your association is wrong - basic edition has everything what you need to create complicated reports. And definitely it has an engine

I will not migrate to FR3.0 because with my actual FR2.51 I have run-time designer, dialog forms and sources.
Sorry!

I don't force you to migrate to FR3.0. It has a different structure and you just can't replace FR2.5 with FR3.0 in existing projects without lot of coding. It is better to use FR3.0 in a new project.
PS: when you try FR3.0 you will want to migrate to it

thank you. I wil see.
