On further note, i should clearly write out on my script pages that for any customization it will cost this much and so on.

However, i see a flaw with that model. Because if i put in X amount of hours to help customize the script for someone for let say $xx amount of money, they will use the same script for all their 100s of clients. So, that's means i'm loosing money and they got a good barging for $20.

But instead, i think, i should adopt software licensing model (just like vbulleten). For exxample, I can say when you sign up, you will get a one copy for free or you'll get a free trial for 2 weeks or something. From there on, I can license each copy for a small monthly or yearly free OR say you can license x amount of copies of the script for $xx amount of dollars and so on.

What do you think guys? I'm interested now how i can make this work because i know there is potential to turn this inot a small business.

I'm also interested know how vbullitent prevent people from pirating their software?
