Hello!
Yes, pricing has been changed two years = ago, in January 2015, so
there is only one version = of the FastCGI that can run (fast) in
freeware mode for free, = without any mathematical operation to be
solved or any annoying = limit, or can run in registered mode
(faster) for a small $59 = accelerator certificate.
On another side, there is the server = version (unlimited services,
unlimited domains for one = single machine) which is the old
"Enterprise" = version for $459, and the Developer version which is
free.
About the = question "This method is not suitable to update WebDNA and

is there another way to = get this happening ? I tried an install over

installing/upgrading or = do I just build a new server.
The installation process relies on = the position of directories,
apache user, dependencies = version, and each LINUX OS has his own
formula for this. = Moreover, each LINUX OS might change the formula
from one version to the = other. Apache Software Foundation will also
change the rules from = time to time. We have to adapt and we provide
installers for the major = LINUX distributions. However, from a

version Y is doable, but = not financially viable. You can do the
installation yourself, as = basically, installing WebDNA server is a
matter of permissions = (always), SELinux (annoying), a connector and a
module (built for a = specific LINUX version) and http config, with a
