The purpose of this page is to give you a glance into the future development of Visual Objects and, Vulcan.NET and to explain a new subscription based program called the "VO Platinum Subscription"

While Visual Objects 2.8 represents a major milestone in the 12-year history of Visual Objects, your development team continues to work hard at making it even better. As you may know, we are currently working on enhancements and bug fixes to the VO 2.8 product and in addition to this we are also working on a project called Vulcan.Net.

Both of these projects are making good progress. Visual Objects 2.8 has just been announced to the VO public. The progress on the Vulcan.Net project will be shown at the German conference in November of 2006.

In recent conversations at World Wide Conferences and via email, Visual Objects users have told us they would be interested in a variety of new features that we have put together to form this Platinum Subscription plan.

The Platinum Subscription will allow you an opportunity to work more closely with the development team, on both the 2.8 project and the Vulcan.Net project.

We know what type of applications you write, it's all about writing key applications dedicated to a certain business sector. We know that switching development tools or platforms can be very costly in terms of time and money. This is why it is essential for you that the development tool you pick for the transition must fit your needs perfectly.

Tell us what your requirements are to move to the .Net world. If you are not familiar with application programming for .Net, go ahead and study the tools available. Then tell us what you are missing. Is it seamless support for DBF based applications? Do you miss macros? Do you miss a migration path from your current code to managed code? Whatever your needs are, you will now have a private dedicated forum that your development team will visit daily.

We will be listening, and we will implement what you need in the upcoming version of Vulcan.Net. Yes, you are right: For the first time ever you will sit right next to us at the steering wheel, co-piloting VO to where you want it to be.

How does it work? You will get tools and forums and "Inside Information" to enable you to verify that we are going in the direction that you want Vulcan.Net to go. On top of this you will also get a free copy of the product that you helped create. Please see below for more details.

This is your best investment on moving Visual Objects 32 bit(VO 2.x) forward, and your smoothest migration to .Net

 .

What do you get in your subscription?

1. Access to the latest public and beta Visual Objects 2.8 (Build 2770)

You will always have access to the latest beta builds, and can use these builds to distribute your software. This means no more waiting for public patches.

2.Vulcan.Net

Access to the latest public and beta Vulcan.NET

You will receive a fully licence copy of Vulcan. Net when ready for distribution.

You will also have full access to the components of Vulcan.Net as they are developed.

(Including use of the Vulcan.Net Data Driver)

3. Access to the Private Platinum VO Forum

During our beta cycles, we have seen what can happen in a positive environment. People helping each other and the development team to find, identify, and provide a sample to get things done. The rewards are very win/win.

4. Priority Tech Support.

Our Private support forum will only be accessible by Platinum Subscribers. The Development team will monitor this forum on a daily basis and provide support to the members.

5. Priority Bug Report Support & Bug Resolution.

If you can show us a bug in less then 10 lines of code, we can fix it in the next build. Those bugs that cannot be shown in 10 lines of code may take a little longer but will still receive priority support.

6. Extra Development Tools.

Internal Development tools such as "Repo Builder", "Scriptor", and "Project Builder" will be made available.

7. Debug Builds of Visual Objects.

The Debug Builds of Visual Objects will be made available.

8. The Latest Visual Objects SDK's

The latest source to Visual Objects SDK will be made available

9. The Wish List.

Suggestions for new features will get extra consideration.

10. Development News.
A private email newsletter keeping you updated on the latest development news.

Cost $995.00 USD per subscriber yearly / annually.

Our intention is the continued success of Visual Objects for both the 2.x line of product as well as the Vulcan.NET project and we know that this proposal is not for everyone. However, we believe that there are a substantial number of independent professional developers, and development firms that use Visual Objects on a daily basis, and they both want and need this kind of closer relationship with the developers of Visual Objects.

To participate in this program, please contact your local re-seller or you can sign up for this program at http://www.grafxsoft.com/vosubscribe.htm.

Firms that require more than 11 licenses should contact GrafX directly for multi-seat licenses.

We look forward to, working with you even closer.
