Would anyone here understand how to cost a license for an inflight entertainment system across an airline's fleet?
I'm thinking this is likely to be a server license rather than EOM, with a server for each aircraft.
My typical costing for 200 servers would be prohibitively expensive, so I think another metric is required.

I don't know how helpful this is, but we do have two customers using Tk web fonts for in-flight entertainment systems.
Both of them are, it turns out, browser-based. So both are using Tk Enterprise, our high-volume web font thing.
From my perspective, per-seat licensing approximates the value to individual users of the typeface, rather than viewers of the typeface, as we have in this case. But that's just me.
If we were to have priced this as a server license, which is something we don't do very often, I think our standard server pricing also would have been too high to fairly reflect the value the customer is getting.
So we probably would have reduced the price, and scoped the license to ensure it only applied to this specific application.
I hope that's helpful!

I understand you view on per-seat licensing, the seats are very well used, but a seat license in the thousands isn't going to fly - forgive the pun!
I will price this license on a yearly basis, which I'm finding clients are increasingly open to, and will be similar in cost to a high volume web deal.
thanks!
