(12PressRelease.com) German software manufacturer combit has entered the freeware market by releasing the Free Edition of development component List & Label. The fully functional reporting tool offers almost the complete range of features from the Standard Edition worth 700 US$. The Free Edition is now available for download. With the new edition, combit intends to reach a broader audience of developers in the English-speaking world.
"So far List & Label has been integrated primarily into professional applications, such as business solutions or in the medical sectorâ€, explains managing director Christiane Koerdel. “As a Made-in-Germany reporting component, it has enjoyed a good reputation since 1992 and is still worth its price. But offering the Free Edition will open up a whole new market for development projects at start-up businesses or one-man shows that often hesitate to invest in high-end components.†This developer community can now take advantage of the version 15 reporting tool currently used by thousands of professional developers and millions of end users worldwide. Christiane Koerdel explains combit‘s strategy: “With the Free Edition, we want to make List & Label a better-known component in the English-speaking world. Whenever a developer plans a new project, List & Label should spring to mind as the report generator of choice."
The Free Edition of report generator List & Label integrates quickly and supports a large number of programming languages. In contrast to the other editions, it does not benefit from the unlimited run time of the List & Label Designer, and a watermark appears on each printout and export file. However, the end user can acquire an unlock code for only EUR 29 / US$ 36.88 (exchange rate from 08/26/2010) to remove the watermark and to access the Report Designer to enhance reports by adding a company logo or letter head and so on. The developer can upgrade to a full List & Label edition at any time.
