Entitled to a discount?

[joeychgo]

I own 2 VB's already and am about to lease a third. Am I eligible to take the discount?

[brisk_99]

According to the sales faq you must purchase all license in the same transaction to be eligible for the discount.

To qualify for the discounts, you must purchase all licenses in one transaction.

Actually that's not correct. You get a discount on all three licenses if you purchase them at the same time. However you do get a discount on the thrid purchase after already purchasing two other licenses.

You do?

I have 5 licenses now. None of them were discounted.

[Zachery]

Are they all the same kall? before the new system you needed to have the same type. As in if you had two leased and got an owned.. you would get a discount.

[Floris]

The current system too Zachery, if you have 2 owned licenses, your third owned license will get the cumalative discount.

If you have 1 leased and 1 owned, your third license will not get the discount, as it will be the second of the same type.

All the liscences need to be in the same members area too, that could be it.

Only 1 of the licenses was purchased as Owned, all others were Leased to begin with.

NZBoards, my first license, was a leased one. Then came Sparklehosting leased.

Those 2 are now Owned.

I have 2 other leased ones makes 4 Leased licenses I have signed up for in total.

All were $85.

[Floris]

If you upgrade a leased to a owned license, you don't have those those leased ones anymore. They're owned now.

2 owned and 2 leased might be 4 licenses, but only 2 of each type. The next leased or owned license will enjoy the cumalative discount.

Floris:

So that would mean, basically, in order to get any discount, you would have to have two of the same license-type first, and that the third license has to be the same type as the first two, right? So it would be like this, I guess, where there are 2 previous licenses, and the + 1 <license type> would be a new one someone it purchasing:

2 Owned + 1 Leased: No Discount
2 Owned + 1 Owned: Discount
2 Leased + 1 Owned: No Discount
2 Leased + 1 Leased: Discount
1 Owned + 2 Owned: Discount
1 Leased + 2 Leased: DIscount
... etc.

Would the above be correct, then?

[Floris]

Yes.

You have 0 owned licenses total, now ..
Buy 1 owned license, costs: $160
Buy another owned license, costs: $160
Buy your THIRD owned license, costs: $148

You have 0 owned licenses total, now ..
Buy three owned licenses, costs: $148 PER license. (3x 148)

You have 1 leased license, and 0 owned licenses total, now ..
Buy 1 owned license, costs: $160
Buy another owned license, costs: $160
Buy your THIRD owned license, costs: $148

Buy another leased license, costs: $85
Buy your THIRD leased license, costs: $79

......

If you buy 6 owned licenses at the same time, you pay $136 per license.
Buy your 6th owned license, you pay $136 for that 6th license.

Nice explanation, but I have FIVE licenses.

3 owned, 2 leased. None were discounted. Not even the last one, which was meant to be an upgrade to an existing leased one, but went through as a new owned license (making a total of THREE owned licenses).

Sheesh.

You may want to email sales and let them check your history to double check...

That does sound like a bug.
