How much will Flare cost?

The single box introductory price for Flare will be $799, however for those people holding valid RoboHelp licenses we will be offering a cross-grade price of $499 per Flare license. This is the same price that an upgrade to the RoboHelp X6 that never shipped would have been and we felt this was the least we could do for the RoboHelp community after the way they have been treated.

There is also a short time offer to save an additional $50 per Flare license bringing the final price down to $459. This offer has three requirements:

1. Hold a valid RoboHelp license
2. Sign up for the Flare "Sneak Peak" LINK
3. Purchase Flare by the end of February 2006

When will Flare be available?

MadCap Flare will be available in late February, 2006. We will also be making available a pre-release "Sneak Peak" version in late January for all of the 6,000 plus people who applied to participate in the beta but we just couldn't accomodate.

We had originally planned on a release in Q4, 2005 but several factors led us to change that original date. These included Microsoft slipping the release of the .NET Framework from September to November, the difficulty of doing a post November launch and not getting lost in the holiday season, and the fact that to us, it is more important to get Flare right than to get it fast.
