I disagree. "There is no charge for annual development licenses with an active service plan." What without an active service plan? The wording seems to indicate that then there is a "charge for annual development licenses". I don't see zero cost there or the wording is buggy. Therefore my suggestion that they have a word with the people who write those press releases for them. Regards -- Markus
