InflatableMouse:
Permanent life-time licenses are killing for a business.


The only way I can see it would work is if you would offer it for a limited time and set a target number of licenses so you know how much you get short term and how much you'd lose long term and plan around it.

I wouldn't trust a company or buy their products if they would offer life time licenses. To me that just means they want short term income and then probably cease business once their income collapses.

MrHaugen:
Yes, it would be bad if it was the only license option. I'm a bit skeptical to such companies my self. But if it's just an option for the more die hard fans, it might be a good thing. A smaller group of especially interested people increasing the possible production rate? It would probably be wise to set a cap on it though. Just in case. I don't know..... As I said, this is just some wild thoughts of a madman, high on coffee at the end of the work week.

Not saying that they should do it, but I have to somewhat disagree with what you wrote, at least in the case of slysoft. I think they have proven over time that they don't just want short income.

I've been burned on those deals more time than I can count.

JRiver is doing the right thing.  Keep on keeping on, guys.

MrHaugen:
They sure ain't doing anything wrong with today's model. It might be the best to stay on the same path. I'm just saying it could give MC a real boost if done right. Probably. Perhaps. And so on :)
