Also think this thread should have been renamed to "Cach� Pricing".
I just want to put some more spice on "...there are special deals to be made depending on the complexity of an installation..." Kevin's sentence:
Of course, Cach� is an excelent tool but what customers pay us are "Our Applications" running on Cach�. So the "Utility" (features & benefits) of the Applicactions it's what is important to customers. Easy to justify the way ISC does: (Put it working and it will do what you want/need).
So pricing is Utility: Machine, OS, Software, Applications, Consultancy, Ideas, ... (Cheap or Not ?) Depending if it does what you bought it for the way you wanted.

I think the question can be answered how much does "Ford" cost. We can find out what dollar range the cost is in, just like we know that a "pick" implementation
costs around xxx dollars per port or a Microsoft SQL server cost xxx for xxx number of connections.
Sure there are special deals to be made depending on the complexity of an installation but
I and others are not asking for the price of these complex systems. I'm sorry but I would say
that this turns off a lot of developers.
I think this is what I am on about, - its the "basic" configurations that should be easy to place a price on (and publish) , with a large proviso at the bottom to say "anything more complex, lets talk"
nothing special licences 1 port = $ xx 10 ports = $xxx 100 ports = $ xxx web server = $xxxx
you want shadowing - lets talk this that or the other - lets talk.
