How can we do this? Is it much cheaper? Or just say 10% off?

You mean you know a reseller we could buy through? Or meaning you have your own company? Either way, that'd be helpful.

Chinese group, has been 'group buying' and renewing for a while now. I don't know if its from a re-seller in China or HexRays directly, but if it works, who really cares? Buy-in was 7000 CNY initially, for all platforms and plugins, but its basically been the same group of guys since it started.

However, in general, I'm inclined to agree. I doubt anything that is organized with the expectation of "let's pool small amounts of money and just pay for a license" will be very successful, given the actual cost involved.

I'm very interested to see how Hex-Rays responds to Ghidra when it eventually get's a debugger. Price cuts maybe? Not being so anal about your clients? The NSA has certainly lit a fire under Ilfak's ass lol...
Hmm maybe it's the same Chinese group I found that were also doing a group buy.

I agree on being interested to see their response to Ghidra. I expect that the analness will have to go down pretty soon, and the humility up
