In fact my answer on this your question,
    will explain also ABOVE first paragraph also.

Valentina Developers! Attention Please!     :-)

Read and remember THIS RULE:

*** ANY Valentina CLIENT is FREE !!!!

        i.e. If you have some Valentina Server (Office or Embedded)
        then you can download and use for FREE any client
        which we offer.

*** So your question is:
        I have VDN Platform then if I need buy VPHP for $199

ANSWER IS:
    * NO, if you want use VPHP as CLIENT to your VSERVER.

    * YES if you want to use VPHP as *standalone* ADK
        that allow you develop PHP-based solutions without
        need of Valentina Server. Such PHP-solutions can run
        even from CD/DVD.

Right.

Kim and others, please note.

Valentina Community Server is BUNDLED with special build of VPHP.
    * They can work only together.
    * you cannot use VPHP from site with Valentina Community Server
    * you cannot use Valentina Community Server with e.g. V4RB.


So I believe that we DO NOT offend users of other ADKs or other platforms.

Paradigma do this step making free offer of
    { Valentina Community Server + VPHP }

To try fight on ISP and WEB segments against mySQL and Postgre.

* Now we have remove reason that mySQL is free for ISP, but Valentina not.
* Now you can develop V4RB / V4MD solution, and OFFER/EXPLAIN/POINT to your
customers that they CAN get also PHP based liunx solution around VSERVER for
free.

Note, Valentina Community Server is UNLIMITED by connections !!!
Valentina Office Server UNLIMITED costs $1500 in contrast.

But again, Valentina Office Server can access ANY ADK,
Valentina Community Server *only* PHP and later RUBY.
