why the enterpise is much more expensive than professional, just because the enterprise has the 'Dynamic HTML reports' function? and 'Dynamic HTML reports' means the additional function of select different time by Time Range, anyelse additional functions?

Yes, the only difference between the Professional and Enterprise versions is that the Enterprise edition has built-in web server that shows dynamic HTML reports.

Dynamic HTML reports allow users to select different time ranges, change number of items in tables, sort by any columns - without need to regenerate reports. These reports also allow to view trends (activity by time) for individual table items even when they aren't shown in the main trend chart (e.g. it is possible to view activity for any page even not shown in the Daily Page Access chart). The repors also have interactive flash charts and maps.

The built-in web server supports authentication so you can create users and specify which profile that can access.

You can view a sample dynamic report at http://demo.weblogexpert.com/ (username: demo, password: demo).

The second screenshot is from the static report (it can create subreports for several predefined date ranges), not dynamic one.

You need to do the following to create a dynamic HTML report:

1. Click the Server button on the toolbar to show the Server dialog.

2. Click the Run button to start the server.

3. Click “Manage” near “Users” and add a new user with access rights for all the profiles. You will need to enter the specified username and password to access the generated dynamic reports.

4. Click “Manage” near “Profiles marked for publishing” and select the profiles you wish to get the dynamic reports for.

After it when you analyze your profiles, you’ll get dynamic HTML reports.

That's greate, I got it.
BTW, when i click 'Server' button at the first time, i need to download a "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer)", is it free, should we pay for additional money, or $399 is all the money I need pay?

The .NET Framework is free, you just need to download it from the Microsoft's site and install it.

BTW as you interested in dynamic HTML reports, you can also try version 7.3 beta available at http://www.weblogexpert.com/download.htm . It includes new dashboard for the reports:

You can set the built-in web server so it could be accessed from other computers (e.g. from local network). To do it, you need to change the server IP address from 127.0.0.1 (it is the localhost IP) to a public IP that can be used to access your computer from others. To do it, click the Server button in the program and then click the Change button near the URL label. You need to choose another IP instead of 127.0.0.1.

After you select a public IP, people from other computers will be able to view the report using the specified URL. Please also note that you may need to configure your firewall to allow other computers to access the server on your computer.

most of the visitors are from United State and China, why it shows zero.
