    That deluxe version looks really out of place, almost as if it were thrown in there to make the pro version look good without thinking of the people that would be interested in something above pro.

    When I put in my third server, do I have to buy the deluxe version (which takes my annual costs from $200 to $5000)? Or do I buy up to 25 of the pro licences to get up to 50 servers?

    You may also want to consider making your commercial support offerings mesh with the enterprise licensing. As an example I seem to have to negotiate phone support and at best a 6 hour response time with the enterprise licencing or get an EUR 15K support contract to get 2 hours.

    As feedback I wish I could say to them this: "Everything looked great until I saw yourselves calling each other Ninjas. Chief Executive Ninja!? Bye."

    At this point I might just be a bit jaded but the term ninja is about as flattering to me as peewee. It's not that I haven't worked with "ninjas" before and from that experience I've grown a very clear aversion to "ninja" anything. Add to that recruiters have picked up on the term and now everyone has to be a "ninja" to get the job. Really? Ugh.

    Get rid of "ninja." Then I'll actually be able to point my boss to your website.

    The first line of this post mentions:

    "Phusion Passenger is an Apache and Nginx module for deploying Ruby and Python web applications."

    ... yet I can't see any further mention of Python support in any of the linked roadmap posts, or on https://www.phusionpassenger.com/enterprise - does anyone have any more information about Python support?

    You might consider bundling the enterprise version with union station. A startup version with a 2 server license and union station monitoring for both would be nice. You could also offer access to the union station beta for anyone who buys enterprise now.

    Why doesn't my old license transfer? /sarcasm

    Should probably remove this page since they share the same name and all.

    How is this going to interact with the open source version, going forward?
