What's the most expensive program installed on your computer?

[SSSnail]

Eh?

In an average implementation, one program installed on my laptop is worth $1.2 mil.

And I didn't even include anything else, or WOW .

My laptop >>> yours


Edit: Someone complained about rules not being cleared. So the software has to be installed on a computer that you own, or is assigned to you. And that you use it on a daily basis, and on average what an organization would pay for it. The $1.2 figure is not really that much.

 

[legoman666]

program that I paid for or acquired by "other means"? If the former, The Orange Box @ $50. If the latter, Vista Ultimate x64.

WOW. I lose. I was going to say the unlimited version of Maya 8.5. But thousands < millions...so, yeah.

Maya 8.5 = 6-8k, depending on unlimited, or complete.

 

[Ika]

Probably Adobe Creative Suite CS3, which includes Photoshop. After that, probably Office 2007 Enterprise. Then Vista... I think.

 

[GG02]

Other means FTW!

Jobs paying crazy amounts for software = :laugh:

I don't know, it is possible, say government single source software that is re-speced x million times, delayed 5 years and spotty at best would cost that kind of money easy.

 

[Jhill]

1.4 million

 

[rbV5]

I hear Limewire can run upward of $9250/song.

 

[OdiN]

CS3 I imagine.

Oh and then there's that one single one that's 1.5 Million.

Lacerte, configured with everything unlocked it'd be worth roughly 40-50 grand.

I hate Lacerte.

<--- Used to support H&R offices filled with morons.

 

[mundane]

I had a copy of MUSE, which took us forever to acquire, but that contract is over and the dongle is expired.
Currently, it'd have to be Allegro CL Professional.

 

[clamum]

I'm not sure how much the program I do work on sells for, doubt it's in the millions though haha.

Other stuff:
Photoshop 7
Visual Studio 2005
Office 2007
MS SQL 2005
Two versions of a lot of DevExpress controls

 

[spacejamz]

I got CS3 with a student discount for $300...reg price was around $1K...

I had a water infrastructure program installed on a previous laptop. I think it costs $500,000 or so. I have also used various brokering programs that are around $25,000 per license per year.

14k on our comptuers


On my personal shizzle, Office (150) or XP (80)

 

[wetcat007]

$0 Ubuntu Linux with all Open Source software ftw!

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

The rules of this need clarified. It should be a SINGLE COPY LICENSE on your computer. It is nice and good that your company paid millions of dollars for a program, but it did not cost millions to put it on your computer.

 

[m1ldslide1]

windows.

 

[biggestmuff]

EWQLSO Platinum. It used to run $3000.

 

[LS21]

100,000$ per user + 50,000$/year for maintenance/update/support

Imagine a software that lets you reach multiple systems/OS simultaneously and let you access the devices at physical level, then throw in other capabilities such as accessing RAM, and uncover root kits and whack them if need to; then imagine being able to do this anywhere on earth, from any location and scalable to any sized network. Now, since we have the devices at physical level, imagine what ever else we can do with the system, all of this is going on while your production environment is not impacted and you are oblivious of its existence.
