we've developed some Flash video applications that will have 1000
(avg.) to 5000 (at peak time) connections for a very large scaled
project in Turkey. We have all tested our applications with Developer
Edition and when we made sure that everything is ok, we decided to
start the project. I have checked this adobe website for contact about
FMS licences. I could not found any office or reseller number in
turkiye. so i tried the numbers from the beginning. all of the
contacts that i ve talked took my name my office number my company
name etc. but again none of them helped me about the situation. they
all redirected me to other support numbers. (both in US,UK and
Amsterdam) i wasted 2 weeks (both day and night because of the time
zone issues). of course none of the contacts helped me about my
questions. most of them were unaware of Origin Edge licences. After
calling about 100 contacts (which is also not quite cheap if you are
calling abroad) they told me that maybe "insight" could help me. Then
i wasted another 2 days with insight contacts then they told me that
they are not allowed to sell products because of their tax issues.
Anyway i have found an adobe distributor in istanbul by google search
(also none of US or UK adobe offices had knew any contact in Turkey).
They also send me to a reseller. And i have wasted another week with
them. What they told about FMS Origin&Edge licences was in conflict
with the ones that had told me by a US department. (And also a
department told me that Edge and Origin licences are different. Edge
is for +1000 connections and Origin is for +5000 connections. Adobe
should try to teach them some 😃 ) Anyway we had also confused about
licence needs. Ali Halac (medyasoft-istanbul) really helped us a lot
about all the issues but there was still some that they also have to
learn by Bilkom (adobe partner). But we (and they) couldnt reach any
contact in Bilkom because they were in vacation. So it has been nearly
1 month and i cant still get enough information about the licence that
i need. i 've checked all the whitepapers blogs vs. about Origin&Edge
licences but couldnt find enough information though. Now i need some
one that can directly help me about this issue? Any email or telephone
number?

    Hello -

    I am excited to hear that you would like to use FMS in your project, but I am very sorry to hear about the troubles you are having ordering the licenses. I will pass your information to our global sales team and I will make sure that someone contacts you.

    thanks,

    -steve.

    I don't think you'll find help here... this is a user-to-user forum. Occaionally some of the FMS development team posts here, but I don't think the sales department ever reads in on these forums.

    Perhaps you might have a better time making the purchase through someone in the US or the UK. Do you have any colleagues or affiliates outside Turkey who can buy it for you?

    i also dont think that this would be really helpful but i tried almost Everything. I really dont know what to do now. we are thinking to start an opensource project to stream over rtmp with C. Coding what we need in C would not take more than a month. I have no one to help me in USA. And as you know there is not much information about Origin&Edge licences. They only say that it starts from 45.000$. so i also dont know the price. i think that maybe ones that had similar problems before can help me.
