## Why: the goal or problem

A customer wants a defined deliverable without recurring charges. The payment and the promised support period still need clear boundaries.

## How: work toward a solution

A fictional export tool charges 30 in month one and zero in months two and three: total 30. The shared usage is 100, 300 and 600 exports. Here the license covers that example; taxes, fees and refunds are omitted. The timeline separates charges from usage.

## What: the concept

One-time payment charges once for a specified purchase. The entitlement must separately define access, support and upgrades; one payment does not promise a lifetime hosted service.

Compare recurring billing when continued service creates ongoing costs.
