You raise good questions about usage costs... Right now charges are still being tweaked, but I would like to keep all scenarios to a max of $100/month. An upper tier plan would permit, at this stage, the launch of 1500 instances per month. That's 75 per business day, which would meet the scenario you mention above quite easily.
You're right about your second point. Customers can rip off whatever they want from the VM. But they can do this today. I've been selling a thick client solution for the last 7 years and change the registration code every couple of months. Within two days you'll find cracks for the latest release. It's the nature of the game.
I see the use of Virtual Demos more for the distribution of enterprise software, and less for ad-hoc demos by small businesses. I've worked in banks and found that 90% of vendors have powerpoint as their selling tool, but only 10% can actually give you a functional copy of their app to test. Enterprise software is bulky, complex to install and configure, and frequently has SW or HW requirements that are difficult to meet easily with resources at hand. With LabSlice Virtual Demos I want to enable a Sales Engineer to walk into a company, show off their powerpoint and then finish off by sending an email with a LabSlice link to a functional product demo/evaluation, launch as a VM through our environment.
Appreciate the feedback. Please let us know more of your thoughts...
