After that, the prices are relatively steep and licenses must be obtained per-platform. Still a good deal in my book.

@DwarfKing : From Fmod's sales site =>Quote: If you are developing an indie title and your total costs are less than $100k USD at time of shipping, you can now use FMOD for free!

Just sent them an email regarding if this applies to the legacy versions of FMOD, after all torque3D's fmod is a legacy version.

Doesn't T3D use Fmod Ex? Which isn't the free version. Anyhow, you only need the 2 dlls to run Fmod via Torque, so someone open up Fmod Studio and check that they're in there, and we might all be okay. ;)

yep that's why i sent an email hoping everything is under the new terms, however the ex license says that you can use it as long as it is a non-commercial product. :P
