We've simplified our pricing for clustered Theme Builder licenses, upgrades and renewals...

Previously, we had Enterprise Node and Unlimited node licenses - a license was required for each node on a clustered Confluence install.

We've merged these licenses in to a new "Cluster" license that will work for any number of nodes and unlimited users in a single Confluence cluster.

We've done this for the following reasons:

1. There was utter confusion at Adaptavist, our resellers and customers when trying to work out what license was required for a clustered install - in particular, maintenance extensions and upgrades was a nightmare
2. Almost all clustered licenses we sell are for 2-node clusters - having granular node licenses was overkill
3. Existing customers may have noticed our licensing provision is less than responsive - we're simplifying it.

The price is a little higher – clustered installs generate some of the more challenging support requests we get (eg. "we've created 600 theme layouts and the layout manger is running a little slow") so we've doubled our company size (literally) in the past 14 days to handle the increased workload.

The new prices can be found in our Shop.
