Miva Merchant recently announced it’s plans to move from a License model to a SaaS (Software as Service) model beginning in May.

As a webhost we can appreciate the fact that the Miva Merchant shopping cart software now promises to offer all of its future software improvements, upgrades etc as part of its per month fee, but I must condemn the act of doing so without regard to those licenses already sold as a perpetual one-time cost.

Blue Bayou has chosen to not pass along the cost of these monthly fees for it’s existing Private E-Commerce clients, however by default all new accounts after May 1st, 2009 will only be offered as SAS packages.
