The Magic Words are "recurring license fee", as small part of the advantage gained by a business for using your software. The idea for me is to remove the up front barrier of custom software, and have the recurring fee so low it is not a difficult amount for a business to justify, especially when the income advantages can be so enormous in comparison. The downside to jumping into the recurring license fee game is the loss of the initial large income hit you may be used to. I do charge an initial license fee (and normally no installation/training fee), but it is not anywhere near what a competitor may charge. Then again, competitors have to pay commissions to a sales rep, I don't need to do that as I am the Sales Rep also <g>. It is so nice to be able to run a small business like this...
