Free use of the menu

Hi all,

Just letting you know that we've moved the goal posts again with regard to the free licenses

Basically, you now need to include the following on all pages that use the menu in order to use the latest version (5.711) so that the annoying popup-box does not appear.



Unfortunately, to remain viable and in business we need to keep up with competition and allowing users to use the menu for free without link backs mean we are giving too much away. The link back to milonic.com isn't too much to ask for the menu, it is after all one of the best web site navigation systems available and in order to keep up with our fellow menu developers we ask that you link back to us. The Pro licenses are OK and nothing has changed.

Thanks for your time
Andy

I think its totally better then fair.. and all the links really helps you keep you indexed well with the search engines what an awseome policy.

I have to say, ""Great Work Team Milonic!"" , this is a very exceptional menu system, with a fantastic team, its very rare you see a place offer a great product, and back it world class cupport, and ask nothing in return except a link, that helps others get the same great product..


Thanks Milonic!

Hi,

And I tell you what the best thing is, we've put pressure on our competition by doing this.

Not only are they copying our code concepts - they are also copying our business concepts too, seems we've created a new policy of free menus for non-profits in return for a link as a standard idea by almost all menu developers these days.

Unfortunately, this now means that we are under pressure, oh well, at least we've done good things for the Charities, Health Foundations, Schools, Religious groups, etc, etc, etc all around the World. I'm happy about that

BIG BIG Thanks goes out to Ruth, John and Kevin for all their hard work.

Cheers,
Andy

I may be a little lost with this statement "Basically, you now need to include the following on all pages that use the menu in order to use the latest version (5.711) so that the annoying popup-box does not appear.
" . If i am using a Frame webpage does the information need to be in the side.html or on the body pages? I asked something simular about the Milonic in my menus. reference "Can not get Milonic to go away in Licensed menu"

You will need to include a link on all pages where the menu is located, this will include FRAME pages.

Greetings Andy,

I just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to use your menu system. It IS the best around, and although I'm having a little problem with it, it is STILL the best. You can't be blamed for my stupidity!

I'm using the Corporate menu now at http://7times.org and it looks great!

Thank you so much,

Ken

Suggestion on free license / request

Poster: Migru
Dated: Thursday December 22 2005 - 14:07:46 GMT

Hi,

as far as I am informed, a professional license is valid one year with regard to support and updating permit.
I am making use of a free license, because I am using this on an honorary basis for an organization, which has (in Germany) the status of working for the "common good" and is not at all profit making.
Nevertheless, impressed by the menu´s quality and support available, I am in a position to purchase a license but do not want, of course, to loose the capability of updating permit after one year only. How can this contradiction be settled? Isn´t there the possibility of purchasing a license, but operating it, as if it was a "free" license ?
I would appreciate, if a reply is sent to my email address.

Will it screw up if I put quotes around the URL (making it XHTML compatible) like so:

Hi,



Not at all, it should still work with or without the quotes.

Cheers,

Is exact link needed, and can it open in a new window?

Andy,

The Support page about removing the forced link says to use this, as of version 5-754:



I've never used href without quotes around the URL. Without the quotes how do you set it to open in a new window? I just copied the link, I didn't notice there weren't any quotes until I saw it mentioned in this forum.

It is ok to open in a new window, right?

Hi,

I know I'm not Andy but, yes as far as I know you can open it in a new window. The important part is that you have a visible not hidden link back to Milonic on every page that uses the menu.

Yup, Ruth is correct.

Hidding links (of any kind) will affect your Search Engine page rank so we strongly advise against it.

Doesn't stop countless foolish people from doing it though

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Guys


I am not sure what sort of licence i need for my website....

It is a personal website that is there not for profit but more as interest to others, i do accept donations either of content or for money - but suplus after running costs is dontate to a needy cause.

Currently i am adding the tag to each page, i was happy to add a credit to a credits page but would like to do away with the link on everypage bit.

Anyways what licence do i need, i am not for proft - probably for nett loss. But do i qualify under that rule?

Anyway the website is

http://www.locodocs.co.uk - Still very very much under construction.

Hi,

You'll need to contact Milonic directly about qualifying or not. We're just volunteers and don't work for Milonic.

But, I will tell you that you have to have the link on each page if you qualify for a free license. That is what keeps Milonic able to continue to allow free licenses, the advertisement of the product out there.

Sure is big John. Just stopped by again to see what's new in Milonicville. I've got

but I'm perfectly happy with it. No need to upgrade since it does everything I want it to. I also got you a customer a couple years ago, Carleton Underwood who runs a theatre website in Zanesville Ohio. At my recommendation he uses the nifty Milonic menus. /menufurf, a.k.a. /mfurf

Hey stranger!

Well, sometime in the 'near' future the new version will be out, V6. You'll have to experiment with it when it's done. I've not even seen it yet, but from all info I get it is going to be easier to use and even do more than v5 does. That I have to see, since I've always felt 5 does more than anything out there. Then again, I've always been into style and love that option with v5. But, I've also seen so many custom things people have created over the years which are awesome. Hope v6 will do that, also

Brava Ruthie.... I'm open to experimenting with Ver 6. But don't forget I'm a computer neanderthal still using Win98 on both my desktop and laptop. But if it's a faithful javascript update, I imagine there will be no problem.
