CRM on Demand?
I'm making a CRM application that sells with full source code. However - it
requires the following to compile:
- Delphi 6 Professional
- WpTools 4 (Full scale word-processing)
- Jasmine Calendar Components. (Scheduling)
- Addict 3 (add-on to WpTools)
- DevExpress Quantum Grid 3.2 (the edit controls + grid)
- DevExpress Menubars 3 (menubars)
- Fast Reports (report engine)
- ADO with MS-SQL Database or MS-Access.
So CRM is on demand ?
Do you think I'm using too many third-party components?
Would you buy this product if it uses the above third-party just to compile?
I'm interest to know the feedback.
CRM end users may not be interested in your source code.
Even if they are interested in buying the source,
Delphi and ADO is not part of your source code.
You only have to sell (supply) the source of what you have created.
It's the buyers responsibility to buy those components.
Or the cost of your source should include the cost of those components too,
so that you buy the components behalf of your (source buying) customer.
In fact, same is the case for Delphi. But, you will safely assume that they
already have Delphi.
You get away with that as most of the companies who buy source rarely
attempt to compile it themselves.
They just go by their corporate policy. (They use your source code when you
and your application died)
