Dean, I have worked for vendors that dealt with this. Typically, a contract addendum or stipulation is added so that the vendor software is kept at a 3rd party site in escrow.

At my previous job e did this for BMC, we kept it at IMAR. I guess I never understand why, so I'm sking if anyone our there does this and for what reason. If the company went ut of business what would the source code do for us? Would we give it to nother third party to maintain for us? I appreciate the feedback.
