Ahh, I didn't see that about the pricing. All those high prices come with 50 client licenses. I don't understand why you can't get it with only one. It's a good thing I only checked out the trial version. ;) Well, I see it a bit cheaper, at $243 here: http://www.adobe-flash-oem.biz/buy-ThinApp_4.0-download.html And to confuse matters more, here they are quoting the price as $39: http://www.softpedia.com/progBuy/Buy-VMware-ThinApp-110148.html Ed -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of recklessmaverick@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 10:18 AM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Good Sync Thanks for the links.

The various ThinApp packages include 50 client licenses. The client license does not include a ThinApp license.
