What is Broadcast License Ceiling?
“One $1000 license → 25 client installs → margin floor”
The Extended License costs $1000 one-time and permits installation on up to 25 servers, which sets a hard ceiling on how many client deployments a single purchase can cover. Divide that figure across the installs you actually run and the per-client license cost lands near $40, but only if you fill the slots. An agency running six client installs carries roughly $167 of license cost per account, while the same $1000 spread across twenty-five accounts drops to $40 each. The Regular License at $150 covers one production server and suits a single internal deployment, not a multi-client book. Before quoting a retainer, count how many Broadcast installs you can realistically maintain on Ubuntu with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured, because unfilled license slots are the quietest margin leak in a self-hosted email practice.
