Two Common License Models
A monthly fee to use the software for a specific amount of time. Subscription pricing became popular with the advent of Software as a Service (SaaS).
Subscription
An upfront sum for the license to own the software and use it in perpetuity. This is the more traditional model and is most common with on-premise applications.Perpetual License

Perpetual License Costs
• Perpetual license fee

! Customization and integration costs can be significant—often as much or more than the software—if you choose to change the software substantially.
Upfront costs
Recurring costs
Subscription Costs
Customization and integration costs are often less costly simply because SaaS systems have not provided as much flexibility in this area. Although that is changing as SaaS systems evolve.!

Often Overlooked Costs
While this can be done in-house, most will want
to pay the vendor to transfer data.
Web-based training is often included, but
vendors will charge for in-person training. Training
This can be a major expense for on-premise
software buyers who need their own servers.
