Xceed WPF Free DataGrid no longer free soon. But you have 25 days left to still get it, and the next version, free… (aka Save $300+…)

Via email from Xceed;

“In 25 days from now, the free Express Edition v3.1 you registered for will be updated to v3.2, renamed to Standard Edition, and priced at $300. The free Express Edition will no longer be offered to newcomers. As a registered user of the Express Edition, it is our pleasure to provide you with a $300 coupon you can use to obtain either a free upgrade to the Standard Edition v3.2 when it is released, or you can use it now or for up to 60 days as a discount off the Professional Edition (with or without a subscription, can also be applied to team packs and the Ultimate Suite). …

…

Bonus – Spread the word
We could really use your help to get the word out. Not everybody knows about Xceed DataGrid for WPF, let alone that there’s only a limited time to register for free.

A great way to spread the word is to post an “I registered for the free Xceed DataGrid for WPF. There’s only 25 days left to do it. http://xceed.com/freegrid” status update on your Twitter or FriendFeed account, or help spread the news on your blog or your favorite .NET/WPF forums. If you do this, we’ll give you a $400 discount coupon instead of the $300 coupon.

…”

It’s kind of a shame that the free/express version is going away, but nothing is really free and given the economy companies have to do what they have to do (just as consumers have to do what we have to do…)

Still you have a few weeks to get and register the current version, v3.1, and thereby get the latest version, v3.2 when it ships. So act soon…
