Hi Erik, Vince, and everyone else... VNCScan is licensed per-administrator as opposed to per-computer. When I say $40(US), I mean that it is $40 per administrator that will be using VNCScan. You can deploy/manage an unlimited number of computers with a single $40 license of VNCScan if you only have one Administrator. As you can see, nothing like it comes close to that price. It is set that low because I am a strong supporter of VNC and I believe that the per-computer licensing model is the biggest open scam in the computer industry. It doesn't cost us any more if you're using VNCScan on 5 or 1000 computers. Why should we charge huge per-computer costs? We'll leave ripping people off like that to other software developers. This is also not to mention that VNC is freeware. It would be very unethical for us (or anyone) to charger per-computer licensing on a program that deploys and manages 3rd party piece of software that is free. The line was drawn at per-administrator licensing just to cover support and development costs (and to put food on the table). There are a couple other VNC managers out there but they are very over priced and only one of them even comes close to the feature set found in VNCScan. That particular one costs over twice as much, too. I'm sorry that this turned into a sales pitch for VNCScan but I just wanted to make it known where I'm coming from and why the price was set how it is. I don't want to embellish upon the VNC developers hard work so I made sure that VNCScan had a feature set that stood on its own merits. We don't claim VNC as a "feature" of VNCScan like so many of these others do. It drives me crazy every time that I see one. I hope that my long winded response answered your question. ;) - Steve Bostedor http://www.vncscan.com P.S.
