Suppose I setup a data center for Dbisam server guys.
Would I have to pay Tim if I had 50 or so versions of
the server running ?
If I do and somehow I dont think thats so what a nightmare
it would be.
They would all need different names coz the Admin rights
on a shared server would be a playground for everyone.

I guess just 2 servers and just grant user rights but not Admin
scratch scratch scratching my head now would be the way.

We would have to set up a special arrangement so that you could verify that
any customers that you give access to a full-blown server have actually
purchased the full-blown server.

Are you thinking of running one DBISAM server per server machine ?  Or
something else ?

I was thinking one per VPS server so it could keep its real name,
I did think some guys might just want somewhere to serve their
data from but then I would get nothing but aggro.

I have been to see a location for the servers and I can get a small
room/cage that is air conditioned and it takes 8 X 47u cabinets 4 each
side with enough room for a small desk + tools and whatnot.
47 X 1u servers running 4 VPS servers +  1 Dbisam server per VPS
= 188 Dbisam servers per cabinet 1504 in total.
I figure u have sold at least 3,500 servers  and god knows how many
Elevate servers I havent took that plunge yet, as just before u announced
it I was heavy into FB + MYSQL but come on Dbisam CS is the best of
breed no nonsense server ever.
VPS has to be the best way for developers to go, a remote site u can
connect to via either virtuozzo or remote desktop just work on it like
your own desktop.
All I need now is 376 1u boxes + 376 copies of Win2003 carved up
into 4 per box with VPS + licence issues sorted.
Forget it eh

Yes, that will work just fine, especially being able to run them without
requiring renaming, etc.

Well, we have no idea what the distribution looks like, and that really is
the key component as far as your concerned.  We only know (and aren't
telling what we sell to our customers.  They, in turn, may distribute
and run many times the number of servers that we sell.

The price of the1u boxes vary around the planet, they mostly
come from China so I may find a source there and import my
own. I hear they are always in demand and as most suppliers
state outa stock on some models most months, then that points
me in to some better boxs than others.

I sold my cs app to a Firebird lady, she converted the cab/courier section
over in a couple of hours, she had her own account program for such a
biz, so she didnt need Trevors BS1 backend ;-( I did try to get her to go
with both of u but she was one hard lady.
2,570+ versions of mine in both dBase III + dBase IV + Foxbase + Clipper
+ Borland Pascal with Topaz + Delphi 1/2 with Topaz and Halcyon + D4/D5
D6/D7/D2007 with Topaz Halcyon and Dbisam from V2 onwards.
Sad really its all been combined into her version on Firebird.
The grand total with her buyouts including hauliers as well include some
12,000 the customers with my older stuff like dBase all took upgrades
cheap as they have GPS built in and can both track the cars/vans and so on.
I wish I had gone that route with full blown GPS tracking I could be sitting
on my rear all day like Lambert.
