Revisiting Torque - licence clarification
by Vernon Finch · in Torque Game Engine · 04/28/2008 (12:13 am) · 4 replies
Hi, I'm revisiting Torque and have some questions about licences.
I am a TGE licence holder (I believe it has now been discontinued, and 1.5 onwards is a separate licence), and I am also a TGEA licence holder. I see if I want to upgrade my TGE to 1.5 I pay $50, that seems clear.
My TGEA licence is still up to date as I understand it? Are there advantages to having the TGE 1.5 source if I have TGEA?
If I am to purchase TGB do I pay the full prices listed on the product page or is there some sort of discount? i.e. As I have source for TGEA / TGE (pre 1.5), do I still pay for the source for TGB Pro ($250 - $150 more than the binary)?
I'm not judging as I have found GG's products great value for money, I am just seeking clarification. I hope my questions are clear :)

Its as I suspected, I just wanted to be sure. I think best thing to do with TGB is just try the demo out. Now to get back into it.
Let the feature creep begin!

When TGB was in EA status, we had an upgrade option, but since then it has matured into a full product of its own without the prior upgrade path. You will have to pay for the source to the engine also.

TGE 1.5 has the lighting kit integrated into it, and is OpenGL compatible. If you are not concerned about these issues, then you are good to go with your current license.When TGB was in EA status, we had an upgrade option, but since then it has matured into a full product of its own without the prior upgrade path.

Thanks David, I vaguely remember an early adopter's option which I think is where my question came from.

TGB is totally on its own, you pay what you see regardless of what other gg engines you have.
welcome back!
