The Enterprise Edition was shipped on June 7, 2000 and initially had a street price of US$30,000,[4][5] but was repriced to $2,999 on April 10, 2001. The Developer Edition was priced at $999 per server.[6]
Discontinuation[]
Macromedia discontinued sales of Generator 2 on December 31, 2002. Support ended in June 2003; the last update was version 2.6.[7]
Macromedia sought to migrate users to Macromedia Flash MX,[7] but Generator 2 was discontinued without having added support for Flash MX.[2] Developers found an alternative through JGenerator, an open-source Java application from JZox which offered similar functionality with support for Flash MX.[8][9] On December 11, 2003, Macromedia signed a licensing agreement with JZox, which no longer sells JGenerator.[9][10]
