The serial number verification seems like a good idea, as long as you can ensure that buyers and friends-of-buyers aren't inclined to hack it. However, I've always been more a fan of a business model that invloves (a) some or all of the software being hosted and/or (b) keeping customers dependent on you for some kind of updates, be it updates to the code itself, or some kind of data that the application depends on (i.e. a zipcode database in a mailing application).
Also, people are always more inclined to pay monthly fees for an application if they know it's being continually improved, especially if their feedback is taken into consideration in that improvement. People take a sense of ownership and actual investment in the project, rather than it being simply a tool that they pay to use. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
