George so you are saying that the number of users who are going to use the software should be factored in but how do u know the number of users lets say its to go cross africa because thats the intention of the client.How do you factor that interms of numbers of one uses a ballpack figure??

I would definitely consider the buyer and their buying muscle, this is to say that you would not sell to a bank the same you would an individual or smaller org. For example a bank will buy their banking software several hundred million shillings but then again at the end of the year declare a few billion in profits which simply means they have already recovered the sw investment..

There is never a maximum to how much you can sell a sw, a minimum maybe.

So factor in what the sw will be used for, by whom and ofcourse the amount of sweat you have put in.

There is also a maintenance fee which is usually a percentage of the total cost mostly charged

Any new requirements are charged separately. This means that you must state clearly what the software will achieve and anything that falls out of this scope is treated as a new requirement and therefore charged afresh.

At the end of the day though, its really the buying power of your client that dictates the final figure.
