Smart GWT 3.0 and SmartClient 8.2 Release Sale / Charts move to Pro

Release Sale (coming soon)

We’re pleased to announce that Smart GWT 3.0 and SmartClient 8.2 will be available for download in just a few weeks. In celebration of the 3.0/8.2 release, you will be able to purchase new licenses or upgrade existing licenses at 30% off until the end of the year Friday, January 20^th, 2012. Learn more about what’s new in the Feature Roadmap.

Charts move to Pro

We’re changing the licensing requirements in 3.0/8.2 to make HTML5 Charts available to more of our users. The FacetChart component used to require the Power Edition + Analytics module, but will now only require the Pro Edition starting with Smart GWT 3.0 and SmartClient 8.2. Get high-quality charts pre-integrated with Smart GWT components that don’t require plug-ins while supporting both older and mobile browsers. You’ll be paying an amount comparable to purchasing third-party charting packages plus you get all the other advantages of Pro. You can learn more about the FacetChart in our article HTML Charts with mobile support.

If you’re a long-time user of the LGPL Edition, please note that as soon as you install Pro you immediately gain the ability to export any grid as an Excel spreadsheet and export any printable screen as a PDF document without revisiting your data binding layer.

• Export any grid to an Excel spreadsheet with exportClientData()
• Export to a PDF document with RPCManager.exportContent()

So if you’ve been debating the purchase of Pro or a higher license, this is the time to jump in and help support the awesome open source framework you’ve been using. Please visit our Product Overview page for more information about our editions.

A Note for Smart GWT customers with 2.x Licenses

3.x will be a paid upgrade for 2.x license holders. If you just bought a 2.x Smart GWT license, don’t worry, upgrade costs are based on how recently you bought. If you bought very recently, you’ll get access to the entire 3.x series for a fraction of the license price. In addition, this 30% discount is on top of the discount you receive for owning a 2.x license. For a quote please contact sales.
