You mean, allow people paying a monthly fee, like if you were renting, but if you pay for long enough time you can actually own the lincense?
That could REALLY work, specially for small and starting offices where cashflow is king. It definitely is not the same paying for expensive software in one exhibition (or Even 12 monthly payments) than extending the payment period anywhere from 2 to 4 years.
My Guess is that many people would actually agree to end up paying more for the software if they can have affordable monthly fees and knowing that at the end they could end up owning a full license.

You are not paying more...you are obligated to pay the maintenance fee during the rent to own period. I think a plan like that would help to spread ArchiCAD faster... the technical part is there, it's better than Revit, but the opportunity is not there; Firms think on Revit as a default BIM software id they were using Autocad before.

But i digress. The point here is that In order for people to commit to pay, they need to know they will own it, even if they end up paying more than the normal price, but distributed over a longer period.
