Most Expensive Software?

[JamesB69]

What is the most espensive software you guys can think of?

[BJ_M]

why ? you want a copy ?

there is some software developed for military simulation that requires about a million + $ hardware to run it and the cost of the software is about 40-60-100 million (development mostly) -- one customeer only - ever ..

im sure that can be beat though ... the usa monitoring software hardware (where all your comunications gets monitored for key words like bomb and stuff) prob really costs many billion but since NSA doesnt have to report thier budget to congress - no one will really know for sure ..


i think a record though is the canada gov ..

they spent now 1 billion $$ (CND which right now is about 700 million US) on a gun registry program/software and personal ...

it doesnt work - no one wants it - and will cost another 100 million++ to get it running -- and 50 million a year to keep it running - 2000 employees (around that i think -- not sure exactly)
and all its for is to register about 20 million guns -- most of which were already registered (not great system was old system either) and the whole thing is pretty useless because how many people with illeagal guns register them ? (even lawfull owners compliancy is about 60-70% - no one is really sure) ..


funny thing when they started this project they told everyone it would only cost about 5-6 million, 10 tops $$ !!!!

talk about cost overruns -- if a priv. company were run thta way they would be out of busness -- oh wait , i guess many DID go out of bussness

2000 is cheap for software .... many of our lic'd software is between 15,000 - 60,000$ per seat (floating lic) , some is more , some is less

Shake on PC is arond $10,000

Yeah, i was just wondering. A year ago i htought M2-Edit Pro was expensive at 1500. Then somebody told me Scenarist was like close to $40,000. I heard Maestro was pretty expensive too. Avid Media Composer Adrenaline is about $25000.

I guess what is the most expensive software that is available to consumers, not government stuff, to rephrase my question.
