Since I&#8217;m running both of you off of my server, I&#8217;m not eligible for the free version of MT 3.0, and the various licensing options are a bit rich for my blood.<\/p>\n<p>Reasons the free version won&#8217;t work: No support from Six Apart, No access to paid installation service, No access to fee-based services, <strong>No promotion of your weblogs through the Recently Updated list<\/strong>, No commercial usage, <strong>No more than one author and three weblogs<\/strong>. Plus a few other apparent caveats that are pointed out in the <a href=\"http:\/\/weblog.burningbird.net\/archives\/2004\/05\/13\/for-those-about-to-move-to-wordpress-or-textpattern\/\" title=\"For those about to move to WordPress or Textpattern...\">second and third updates to Shelley Powers&#8217; post<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  Just caught this. The following are what you get, specifically, with the paid version of MT 3.0 that are conspicuously missing from the free version:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Application updates and fixes (not including major upgrades)<\/li>\n<li>A guaranteed path to future versions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  From Paul Freeman I found out that you have to be registered with TypeKey in order to download the free version.<\/p>\n<p>  We were assured that TypeKey wasn&#8217;t required for Movable Type. I specifically remember this being said.<\/p>\n<p>  I also didn&#8217;t realize the physical limitations of the free version&#8211;one installation only, and no installation on multi-CPU machines. Most hosted environments are multiple CPU machines. Does this mean even if you are a single author\/single weblog user, but hosted, you still can&#8217;t use MT?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ll let you know as soon as I&#8217;ve figured out which direction to head, and how best to go about it.<\/p>\n<p>Update: I have a few more thoughts on this, and will want to clarify my position (I&#8217;m not that upset, nor am I going on an anti-SixApart rampage, and besides, thanks to my use of TypePad, I&#8217;m quite happy with sending money their way) &#8212; I just need to get my skinny butt in gear, so more rambling will have to wait until this evening.
