Mark,
Thank you very much for sharing this information. I misread your original reply where I thought you charge a transfer fee + cost of support agreement (I read free as fee). Now I am clear.
I also charge/sell maintenance agreement and incidentally my price for a single user license is 1000/year, just like yours.
Again, thank you for sharing.
