I have had discussions with VP's at Remedy --- When it was Remedy on this.. But it was a no go... My Idea was just a little different.. in the sense that they release a Free version once.. of their Helpdesk solution.. it was called Helpdesk Express.. you just had to buy Remedy server and licenses.. Which I thought was a Great Idea.. It for some reason never took off.. Then I recommended and upgrade - slight to helpdesk express for ARS 5.x or 6.x -- no app fee, but a license key if you have support - 1 year at a time -- kind of a Lease program... They never did that either....
I have made suggestions like this in the past.. They have their reasons..
