In significant move, The Foundry have announced that all new purchases of Furnace, Tinder, and Anivil for discreet will include free site licenses for Burn. Burn will most likely be opened up to even more facilities, with burn support in Fire shown as a technology demo at NAB. This may help many facilities in their decision about the software, since adding sparks to burn nodes can quickly add up…making the purchase of burn a fairly expensive proposition.
Monday, August 16, 2004 The Foundry are pleased to announce a significant price reduction for Discreet burn sparks licenses.
From today all NEW purchases of Furnace, Tinder and Anvil on Discreet will include FREE site licenses for Burn. In addition, The Foundry have also scrapped charging per node for clients wishing to add burn support to their existing sparks licenses, it is now a single node price for a site license.
The Foundry are particularly good at reacting to customer feedback. Charges per node from the sparks vendors made burn an unaffordable solution, by changing their pricing, The Foundry has now made this a much more attractive option Angus Kneale, Head of 2D, The Mill.
