Yes,
I just spoke to both companies, they tell me they don't really deal
with self-employed, single (or two) user customers.

I'm sorry to hear that, but it doesn't surprise me that a software
developer would go for broke and make the program as expansive (and
expensive...lol) as possible. I mean, if it would work for one or
two agents, why not make it scaleable for the largest companies.

Here are the searches I used. From the research I did, I'm not 
feeling very optimistic. I think I would have seen a cheaper 
solution, but who knows?
