I wonder if this is a good fit for a subscription. For most people this is going to be a temporary problem, so I think a one-time fee would be more suitable.

(It might be much easier to sell a one time $99 audit fee rather than a $10 subscription)

Sorry , it’s a one time payment and they get subscribed to the service for ever, the price isn’t always 10, it depends on the number of the devices they have using legacy because that’s directly connected to the computing costs, I should have explained it wasn’t recurring, thanks

Makes sense, but won't MS killing basic auth EOL your offering? Apologies if I'm misunderstanding.

Coming October 2022 basic auth will be gone , until then if you make a one time payment on my web app it will analyze daily what devices are using this legacy connection and whenever it finds a new one (not found on the previous parsings) it will tell you so you can track which ones still need to be moved which the app also provides instructions on how to do it. Coming October 1st I’ll delete all entries from the DB for privacy reasons and get in touch with all customers . But they only pay once . Was that what you meant ?
