A little bit of history:
DHTML Menu Builder was the first ever product of its kind and at that time I felt that US$35.00 was just about right.
About a month after the program was made public (version 1.5) a group of crackers released a crack and threw me right out of business. Some of you may remember that I even shutdown the site.
Then, we I decided to give it a second try I relaunched the site along with a new version of DHTML Menu Builder but, this time, priced at US$65.00... just to compensate for the loses caused by the crackers.
In version 3.5 I introduced a validation system which makes DHTML Menu Builder virtually uncrackable and, although several groups have been able to release a couple of cracks these cracks will only work with a version of the installer that they distribute the crack with and every time a new version is released they need to update their crack.
Well, this just means that there's no effective crack/keygen for DHTML Menu Builder so, perhaps, there's no reason why we should keep selling it for US$65.00
Besides... the most expensive competitive product costs under US$40.00

So... I was wondering... what do you think?

NOTE: Please take into consideration that upgrades have been free for every one since the release of version 1.5 six years ago!

I started with a free lite version and immediately upgraded to full purchase version after building my first menu. DHTML menu builder works as expected for my needs.
