Distributing your desktop applications just got a whole lot easier!

With the new Alpha Five v9 Unlimited Distribution License, once you have built your application in Alpha Five v9 Platinum you can:

• Distribute your applications freely with no restrictions
• Make an unlimited number of copies of your application, including trial or demo copies
• Develop an unlimited number of applications (each with an unlimited number of copies)

Thanks to all of you who completed our survey. (Yes, we really do take this stuff seriously!)

Your feedback told us that you felt that Alpha Five V9 was the ultimate tool for building web and desktop applications. You also told us that that you wanted a low cost, unrestricted and simple way to distribute an unlimited number of custom Alpha Five applications that you create.

As a result of your input, we are delighted to introduce the new Alpha Five v9 Unlimited Distribution License for deploying desktop applications.

For one low price – with the new Alpha Five v9 Unlimited Distribution License, you can distribute as many applications as you like - for as many people as you like. The people to whom you distribute your application do not need to have Alpha Five installed. (It's also ideal for creating demo or trial versions of your commercial software.)

The Unlimited Distribution License works for both SQL and non-SQL desktop applications. It does require that you first develop your application using a copy of Alpha Five V9 Platinum Edition. (If you already have Alpha Five V9 Standard, you can upgrade to V9 Platinum without having to modify anything.)

The cost on the Alpha Five Unlimited Distribution License is $999, however until Thursday, August 21st - we are offering introductory specials that can save you over $300. These specials are ONLY available in this mailing. You will not find them in our online shop.

• Ideal for creating demo or trial versions of your commercial software.
