RavenDB 3.0–Release Candidate & Go Live
Update: We delayed the RC release by a week or two because we wanted to finish the new website. But I decided that it doesn't make sense to at least give you the RC bits so you can play with them. You can look at the new website at http://beta.ravendb.net, it should be done in about a week (we are in a holidays period right now, which slow things down).
I’m taking a break from explaining what is new in RavenDB 3.0 because we have more important news. This is still release candidate, because we want to get more feedback from the field before we can say that this is a final version. The plan is to give the RC a few weeks to mature, and then make a full release. This also comes with Go Live version, so this is fully support for production (and much easier to deal with on production).
This release also include a new website for RavenDB, as well as the updated licensing. Note that we provide a 20% discount for purchases during the RC period. For customers that purchased a RavenDB license since 1 Jul 2014, can upgrade (for no cost) to a RavenDB 3.0 release.
You can go to our site to see how things changes.

Aweome stuff.
I have a monthly license, that I bought when RavenDB was still like V1, can I use that license with V3 on release?
Awesome news, been waiting for this!
Maybe some clarifications could be in place. So the RC with Go Live support is now out and where can we get it? Is the latest build the RC and what about the NuGet client packages, will pre-release packages be published? In other words the post was a bit vague about the actual release :)
Eagerly waiting to run proper Update-Package commands for this one!
Phillip, The magic of the subscription carries on. Yes, you can use your license from the V1 era to run on V3.
Marko, Nuget builds are available here: myget.org/gallery/ravendb3 We'll post them to nuget when we are ready to RTW.
Thanks Ayende
Can't wait for release, been using V3 on my desktop and absolutely love it.
So the 20% discount starts now or in a week?
I'd like to get it bought at my work for an upcoming project and discounts make decisions quicker.
James, The discount is going to be available when we move this from beta to full website. That is one of the things that we didn't get to you.
Standard license is up to $698/year from $399/year ? This is going to make it difficult for me to purchase new licenses as we have 10 servers running RavenDB...
You're kidding us with the license prices right? Standard license up 75%.
Alex & Frank, The pricing didn't actually change. The difference is that we include RavenFS in the price as well. If you click on the Buy button, it will take you to the purchase page, and you can deselect RavenFS, to go back to the 399$ price.
Does that mean people who have the subscription year over year such as myself would only get RavenDB 3.0 vs RavenDB & RavenFS 3.0?
Great to hear! Regarding pricing, was the custom bundle restriction on Basic licenses dropped? Maybe this topic deserves a post of its own.
Troy, No, you get the RavenDB 3.0, not RavenFS. We will have pricing for upgrades just for that, probably 15% discount for extending your order to include RavenFS as well.
Felipe, The custom bundle limitation is still there, yes.
It looks like there is a bug with the shopping card (at least for the ISV Embedded). With all subitems unchecked/disabled, it shows a license costing $1599, but then lists the subtotal as $2498.
Matt, Thanks, we will fix this next week.
