Thank you for your reply. &nbsp;You've basically confirmed what I thought. &nbsp;Our license agreement states that we have to get prior written approval from them before we transfer any majority ownership in our company. &nbsp;But it doesn't say anything about a fee if we don't comply. &nbsp;They want us to pay 25% of the list cost of our licenses, and this is about 33% of what &nbsp;we originally paid for them. &nbsp;If they continue to pursue it, we'll probably just turn it over to our legal department.

Very good, I believe you have done as much as you can on your side. I also believe that your legal department will have MUCH more fun twisting those words from within the contracts than you my friend..<br />

Glad to be of assistance....<br />

Our company was recently purchased and our ERP software vendor wants to charge us a very large license transfer fee. Our consultants are telling us that this is normal. <br />
<br />
Has anyone ever heard of this? <br />
<br />
If so, what is a typical license transfer fee? <br />
<br />
I can't even figure out how they are calculating the amount. I thought maybe a per user fee, a percentage of the original license fee, or a percentage of the annual renewal fee. Any information would be helpful.
