I have heard that there will be a pro version of CMUD, in addition to the standard version.

Could you (Zugg) please elaborate on potential differences between the two?

I'm kinda curious about pro, in reference to the fact, that CMud will need to be paid for bi-annually (every 2 years) to upgrade still.... what about the pro part?. will that just upgrade if you keep upgrading.. or will you have to pay for pro each 2 years as well as the upgrades for cmud?

I'm not ready to talk much about CMUD-Pro. Here is what I'd *like* CMUD-Pro to do:

1) SSH support
2) zMapper functionality integrated into CMUD. (which is why zMapper users would get a free CMUD-Pro upgrade).

Whether this is done within CMUD, or done via plugins is not yet determined. For example, it's possible that "CMUD-Pro" is really just a couple of plugins that you pay for and add to CMUD. The concept of charging for plugins is something that CMUD is going to support. So CMUD-Pro might just be a collection of plugins that adds various functionality to CMUD.

As far as upgrades, I also can't promise anything yet, but it's likely that the plugins or CMUD-Pro will work just like CMUD and be free upgrades for 2 years, and then half-price to upgrade after that. So, if you paid $29.95+$19.95 for CMUD+CMUDPro, then after two years you would need to pay $14.95+$9.95 (roughly half price) to upgrade both CMUD+CMUDPro.

Thanks for the information, even if it is somewhat tentative.

I appreciate it. :)
