Not very expensive if you look at various solutions out there.

VDN is a two year maintenance program for developers. Right now you can get
it for Director or REALbasic. The REALbasic one includes both Mac and
Windows ADKs and is the version for Valentina 2 Embedded Server. Meaning,
you can distribute server apps with the base five connections *royalty
free*. You can also deploy an unlimited version for $400 per deployment.
Connections let you expand on your per deployment -- for example -- if you
want to give one of your customers a 10 connection deployment, you would
need to add five connections to the base five.

As you can see, you also receive the following benefits with VDN Platform:

-Valentina 2 Office Server Developer Editions. You can use these internally
for your own business or testing purposes.
-Reseller discounting on Valentina 2 Office Server. This is a 20% discount
-10 VDN Connections. You get 10 of these to start selling to your customers
-Upgrades for two years for the ADKs
-Since it's a "Pro" ADK, a free copy of Valentina Studio Administrator
-Access to a special VDN Forum
-Priority fixes
-Other Goodies

We are putting together a Valentina Solutions Partner list which will be
available on the Paradigma Website. These will be drawn from the VDN
membership.

If you already have Valentina for REALbasic 1.1, you can get $100 off of
Platform Edition, ie $499.
