From MC: We currently have two different, limited-time unadvertised specials available. If you purchase the Lifetime License right now I can offer a 10% discount, so the price for the Lifetime License would be just $1347. Because of the increased demand by users wanting more than one license, we also have a discount available if you want to get 2 Lifetime Licenses: 2 Lifetime Licenses right now are only $2594, which is a savings of $400. With MC Discretionary history and FaceBook signups for the masses, I am sure the demand to buy 2...not 1, but 2 licenses has just skyrocketed. Oh well. So 10% off, but I can guarantee that a future "sale" will be no better. They are losing many opportunities for better pricing = more customers. But when you have just shutdown the MC Discretionary +without warning+, they assume, falsely, that everyone is going to go from free to forking out $1497....or $2594
May it work out well for you, all the best. Here is the new Multicharts Wiki if you have not seen it yet http://www.multicharts.com/trading-software/index.php/Main_Page
Your 3 month lease is 1 year of Sierrachart. Or a Lifetime of Amibroker. If you cant make $ with them, MC isnt going to help you. Just lease the damn thing for 800/yr if you're worried about: DRM, servers going dark, Putin sneezing, Mayan calendars or any other future unknowns. You've got to pay to play.
