I agree with you as in this day and age... Time is MONEY. And any time that is taken to help those that have NOT purchased any product is MONEY out of YOUR pocket.

I am now thinking of selling some of my software as I can NOT afford to give it away any longer.

Thanks for the advise as I will keep it handy when I start to sell and also support the software.

Subject: [OT] Charging for support


Inquiring about business ethics here really. So opinions away.

Tech support is costly, although at the time I can only offer e-mail support. I will have each paying customer's e-mail address on file, and therefore can limit incoming mail to only people who have paid for the software. If they are using the demo mode, they are limited to web support. Sales inquires would go to a separate address. I'm not talking about technical feasibility (I can do that easily), I'm talking about business ethics.
