Home use - private use

Hi

I know it has been in this forum before without luck, but I'll try again :-)

I think that M-Files is a wonderful system, it fulfills all need for a document management system. And frankly speaking, it is priced low when you look at the features you get... well, at least for business use.
But for home use it simply is too expensive, and I ask you to again consider a home use version or home use price. Look at other office products that are available in a lower priced version with restrictions on commercial use. You could put restrictions on support - limit support to this forum - or paid support only. There are lots of possibilities.
The request is more important now, that the express version is retired. I don't ask for having the free edition back, just a more reasonably priced version for home use. An idea could be a price in the area of 25% of business use price?  I am sure you would gain a lot of customers that now are stuck with less professional products.


Best regards

Carsten

BTW: have a look at this: document-management-software-review.toptenreviews.com/m-files-review.html and look into the summary.
