Thank you very much!
I understand now! VDN Platform buys me a pro single user database ADK 
(the REALBasic win+mac+linux ADK for me), multiuser feature for 5 
simultaneus users, two years of updates.

office server is still quite difficult to understand.

The REALBasic VDN is for me if I need multiuser 5 users (for free for 
ever) (and up with additional cost for my client)
The REALBasic win+mac costs less but is only single user.

Today, on the paradigma website, on the page with the top reasons to 
get with VDN, I found this information (that maintenance is about 
newest updates, and not functionality of embedded server).
