Yeah, like we (the one good accounting office I worked at) would buy licenses (not rent) for Microsoft office. Instead of paying 40 a user a month or whatever, we paid 400 a user once. It bugged the hell out of our inhouse IT "specialist" (the partner who liked to play with computers) but he could pay 500 a year per employee for his own software.

It looked cost prohibitive, but it was just a lump sum instead of an annuity. It was still only $100 software tho.
