All,

Well, if the purpose of the licensing fee is to recover costs of management,
administration then I believe that a fee of $500 to $1,000 would be in line
with the costs cited by 3rd party HP 3000 software vendors.   Unless members
of SIG SoftVend tell us otherwise I suggest that costs up to say $1,500
should be accepted without debate.
