Hi.

Oh well, nice to hear, but how much would you be willing to pay. As far as I can tell (and the sales representative is trying to get a better deal for us), we would have to pay at least 20.000EUR total with a minimum of 40EUR per dics.
So we would be at:
40EUR (approx the same amount in US$) per disc with 500+ users
100EUR per disc at 200+ users
200EUR per disc at 100+ users
400EUR per disc at 50+ users
plus taxes, of course. And there is a one-time fee of about 400EUR per different disc (but he is trying to eliminate this). These fees include a single update of the data after approx. 6month. If we wanted more, we would have to get a different deal (which is probably even more expensive).
Ok, more details when I get the next email from him.
Oh, BTW: We would have to make sure that each disc is tied to a specific player (serial number), he just left it to our judgement in which way, and how strong this restriction is enforced.
The reason that the Blaupunkt CDs are cheap compared to this (and with next to no restrictions regarding the machine they are used with) is that it was a huge deal and Blaupunkt (and its licensees) are paying on a per machine base rather than a per disc base.
