The problem with user-based applications is when you need to purchase
additional seats. If you are running close to your user limit, you don't
encourage additional users to come onboard. If you need one additional AP
clerk, you have to buy additional seats for all the applications in your
organization (COM, AR, GL, IFM, COM_Net, PCC, etc.).

Because of this I have not installed applications that I have on the shelf.
Adding 10-20 users to the system for PM&C or PC&C becomes extremely
expensive, so I work on ways not to use these modules. I don't mind paying
for what I use, but paying for COM seats when I am adding a payroll clerk is
indeed a very expensive upgrade charge!

I agree - the upgrade pricing when you are just upgrading to add horsepower,
with no additional users or applications is too much. Especially if you move
up to Browser, and need the additional horsepower - you REALLY get whacked
then.

We converted to user-based pricing when we implemented Browser.  It was a
pretty stiff one-time charge, but will definitely pay for itself over time.
That was my last upgrade charge!
