You're not disagreeing with me. The person who asked didn't mention how much skin they've got in the game. Also, in the current economy, companies are hurting for business and new clients (which the poster possibly is) can frequently gain concessions. Absolute pricing is, at least temporarily, dead.

About the only way you really have leeway with negotiations on maintenance fees is if you are making a volume purchase on a large number of application seats or connect licenses. But usually the small company doesn't have that option, at which time maintenance fees general run about 20%/year of software purchase.
