This sounds awful. Software companies have maxed out all the subscription money they can squeeze out of their customers. But sometimes their customers make a profit anyway, an now the tech companies want a share of that too. FYI, Oracle has been doing that for years. The answer to the question of what does it cost is "dunno, how much do you have?"
