Re: V8 "style" RunTimes introduced for Alpha Five v9 PLATINUM
True, but then that's you as the developer, and with the special offer that's easily achieved.
I ended up getting one anyway, since we need the second developer copy and the single old style RT allows me to give reporting - SQL reports, won't even need passive link tables for now - tools using the new report features, to some of our individual users right now (their needs are very different from each other, and really there's no need for them to wait until I have the specs for the full app for which we will need a set of full RT engines or per site licenses eventually, when this allows me to get their needs met straight away)
Which RT type a client needs for a custom app depends greatly on their requirements.
For custom jobs for single users where one client just wants the reporting capabilities, an app with a single RT engine license for $99 does the trick, if you want to brand your app and limit his or her access to the data. If you want to give them complete access and branding doesn't matter, then a full copy of A5 is the way to go.
Only if they want several users, depending on their needs, a single or multiple user RT, if no Active Link tables are used, becomes more viable. (For two or three, per seat RT engines are cheaper, but then they can't install the app on as many machines as they like, or install a copy on their home PC etc.)
