Is 10k for an app realistic? If a company is paying 10k for the app they're like to use a shared hosting environment. Most of the times we have to take purchasing software into account is when the app itself is already over $100k, so the relative cost of the server software is smaller. BTW, the price for CFMX for J2EE is also per processor, so equation is: Price = product + (CFMX license + J2EE license) * # of servers * # number of processor/server ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
