Licensing query for us loyal users

Hi!
I am starting to do more freelancing work these days (my current activity here has been via the full time job I have with a company) and just sold my first freelance CMSB based website. I plan to use CMSB as my default platform of choice for freelancing (I already use it by default for the company I work). However I have a suggestion about the licensing structure.
At the moment I plan on only building around 3 freelance websites over a year (This will increase when I eventually go freelance full time). When buying a license there is a discount offered for multiple purchases. However buying licenses in bulk like that is currently prohibitive as I simply cannot afford that kind of outlay in one go.
It would be great for a discount scheme to be in place for us loyal CMSB customers who buy in volume but over time. Already I have been responsible for multiple licenses being bought over the last few years for the company I work for, but paying full price every time.
So for those of us who buy 10 licenses over the period of a year or two eventually get the same discounts as those who buy in bulk in one hit. After all we are being just as loyal, just over a longer period of time.
Based on the current discount structure Interactive tools still gets more money from us than the instant bulk buyers, as we pay full whack for the first license, then a reduced rate for the next 9 licenses, then finally on the 10th license we get to the same discount rate as the bulk buyers.
Just putting this out there for discussion :)

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your feedback, a few suggestions for you:
- If you've bought through your work and personally as well let us know and we might be able to count them together in future
- We can often credit you for bundles retroactively for licenses you buy within a 90 day period
- We sometimes have 5 pack discounts, those are a great time to get the best rate with the lowest upfront cost
- You can always take a chance on a 5/10 pack and refund some or all within 90 days if you don't need them. We don't mind if you do this.
- Also, we're working on a subscription pricing model as well that we hope to have out in the next few months.
Hope that helps!
