I have a friend who has written a custom program for a client in the medical industry. The client paid him an hourly rate to develop the software.
Now that the program is done, they plan to use his software in the course of their medical services as well as sell licenses to the software to other clients who do not require their services but would use the software on their own.
They are asking him how much he would charge as a maintenance agreement to support the software that he has written for them. This is only to support the existing feature set, not to add more features.
He's at a loss of what to charge them and so am I. Does anyone here have an opinion?
