 * Hello Paul,
    Do you intend to update the database used by the Plugin Vulnerabilities
   Scanner ? Right now it is 7 months old (2015-08-10) 🙂 Maybe you should state
   in the plugin how old is the base like that, people will not think they are protected
   against the latest plugin vulnerabilities when in fact they are not 🙂 I may 
   go Premium but that’s the kind of functionalities I am looking for…

 * The source of the data decided to not update their database publicly to spite
   us. As I mentioned in the going Pro articles we’ll be sourcing a commercial database
   for the Pro version. Once this is closer to being realised I’ll be updating the
   docs on this.
 * Frankly, the more people that go premium sooner, helps with validating our move
   to premium and the process towards things like commercial vulnerability databases
   goes faster.

 * I only have to convince my boss 🙂
    I could not find a client reporting sample
   on your site, could you please point me in the right direction ?
