 	Needs a disclaimer about the right to refuse service if becomes too high usage i.e. subject to usage limitations to cover our ass and check with D.O. how to clamp that from going into expensive territory for us?
 	We also need to mention we will size their servers to adequate work load or whatever meaning we will put them on the smallest cost server that will sustain their needs.

 todo: if SAAS needs to do some things differently:
-	if it helps, consider a different build flag since SAAS is like an internal build for us
-	SERVER - Count total active users AND SEPARATELY total active Customer login users towards license not techs only
-	SERVER - different signature for license keys
-	ROCKFISH - different signature when SAAS key
-	ROCKFISH - Option with quantity for customer contact active users as a license feature
-	ROCKFISH - anything that's a potential optional add-on for SAAS sb a license feature
-	SERVER - some routes not enabled around licensing, operations etc
-	CLIENT - some info not displayed or routes not available if SAAS key
-	SERVER - alternatives for initial license agreement before first use?
-	CLIENT - alt license agreement when SAAS
-	CLIENT - hits OUR copy of documentation if SAAS?? (not sure if this is necessary or desireable but something to consider)
-	DOCS - alternative txt when SAAS about how licensing works
-	DOCS - doesn't need a version selector ultimately as always latest version
-	BACKUPS - do we backup, do they who is ultimately responsible for the preservation of the data?
-		what does D.O. say about this?
-		Can it just be an on top of charge or should we just bundle it into the charge and accept it's necessary?
 	SERVER - much smaller attachments max size, right now it's set to huge as possible but we need to cap that shit hardcore
 	SERVER - Ability to set a maximum attachment size
 	SERVER - hide any info about the droplet technical stuff like ram and ops stuff, we don't want them to have an idea how much memory they can have, or do we?

 	SERVER - how to cap bandwidth, storage, whatever we get billed extra for from d.o.
 		YES Needs to cap and not allow attachments and warn when getting low on disk space, we're probably ok with db size and can just eat it, who will even get near the capacity for that, it's the attachments that are the bugger
 	CLIENT - NEEDs to report that a new version was installed to the user with link to changes when we publish a new version so they can be made aware
-	EMAIL - research how to send emails with a reliable provider i.e. sendgrid or alike and what the costs and add-on price for that would be.
-	SERVER / CLIENT - BACKUP we can't have them frigging around with it and fucking it up, if we're in charge we need to set the routine and locations etc, if they are in charge need to ensure it's not making too many backups somehow 
-		BACKUP screen should show capacity available in destination backup location

 todo: each droplet for SAAS would need it's own ssh key and password to avoid eggs in one basket security scenario
 	also would need to securely store the passwords somewhere really really fucking secure like offline in a special keypass only accessible from certain hardware maybe with a digital key or something I dont' know
 	Look into security keepass with utmostness and not shared online anywhere so sneakernet only
 	
-todo: Can I make a trial license longer than 5 days for people?
-	I think I can but confirm that shit
-	Changed 45 day trial to 5 day trial but offer that they can email if they are going perpetual and need a special requested more period of time.
-	If they need more time they can sign up for a month's use of the SAAS model
-	is this in rockfish??
-	also they can just request a new trial over and over if in eval mode if they erase the db each time
-	also if I can override a trial period for an eval in the rockfish UI that would be great (TO BE ADDED WITH CODE CHANGE)

 	"What other reasons would a customer have to use SaaS or ask for a subscription instead of a perpetual license? Well, a very often-observed point is frustration with internal IT that has very long delivery cycles and are usually themselves very restricted by internal budgets and, hence, cannot deliver new functionality short term. Another large point in favor of a subscription contract from the customer perspective often is to avoid lengthy capital expenditure approval processes. Subscriptions can be and hence usually are priced to fit into the budgets of departments, which means the decisions can be made there and don’t need to be funneled into complicated corporate approval processes.
 	How does this impact the software vendor on the other side? A shift in buying power from central buyers to more departmental buyers, the need for more business and solution oriented sales approaches and usually much shorter sales cycles."
