What I used to tell customers is that if you bought a bigger box it must be because your business is growing or you are utilizing your mainframe to give you more business benefits, and as a result we would like to think that the benefit you are getting from our software is increasing also. We don't charge you when you get more benefit from our software, but we do have a pricing model that charges you more for the bigger box.
