RE: Tier pricing (was chgsysval QMODEL)

[Jim Damato <jdamato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is the administrative fee documented in the contracts?  If so, is the $10K
specifically mentioned?

Such a charge to generate a new license key for a user-based license is
unethical, but it sounds like you're gonna be beating your heads against a
brick wall.  You might start by demanding an itemized, detail quote for the
fee.

Rick,

You are jumping to an unfair conclusion.  She may not be tier priced.

We are user based and are contemplating a similar upgrade (720 to 820).  Our
license is not processor based, but SSA GT has quoted us a $10,000 fee to
issue
the new key. So, would defeating this be piracy?  I don't know, I'm not a
lawyer.

If we were still processor based, we'd be looking at a whole lot more money.
They
call this ten grand an "administrative fee."

We'll probably pay it, unless we can get it waved or discounted somehow.
Now
who's the pirate...?
