People who had licensed HATS needed to convert to WDHT licenses and people 
that have free WebFacing Apps will need to convert to WDHT.  There is a per 
user license(set number of licenses) or Processor license.  There might be 
one more choice as well.  When you go to enable the license for a HATS 
application you need to select the correct radio button.  For a WebFacing 
application you need the WDHT jar file or you will be limited to the 2 
developer licenses.   Last year in 2006 to help people convert they offered 
the licenses for about 50% to 60%  of the normal cost so people could buy in 
at very low rates and now only have to pay the yearly maintenance.  While I 
was working for an IBM business partner at the time we made sure our clients 
all knew about this and if they were even thinking about going this route 
would at least mention this to them.  Unfortunately that ended last Sept 
2006.....

Joe....I am sure your product is good.  I took a class from you several 
Commons ago when I was first learning java and J2EE and liked your approach.
