cPanel license Pricing tricks

DhruboHost

I'm bit confuse about cPanel license pricing.
For partners they give 30% or, more discount, also they give 10% discount if i buy 2-4 license. 20% for 5-14 Licenses.

Question 1 : I've to buy 2-4 or, 5-14 license at a time to get discount? or, when i will cross 2+ license i will get 10% in future? and, when i will cross 5+ license i will get 20%?

Question 2 : in all discount there is a star marked *yearly. what does that mean? I've to buy all licenses in yearly terms?.

Question 3 : in such condition with 30% partner discount, it isn't possible to get a vps license below 14$. how some companies offer outside network cpanel at 14$? (without profit).
and, for internal network some companies offer cpanel at 10-13$. what is the tricks?

Thanks in Advance

Yes and no, I've been a partner since 2006, but all partners had to resign their contract when that horrid windows thing came out, I tried to avoid it, telling my rep I wanted nothing to do with Windows, but in the end, had to resign anyway, then within 6 months they bailed on their Windows offering. AFAIK I only pay $1/mo less for internal VZZO licenses than new partners. So there is the yes part of my statement.

Closed source money-grabbing control panels for *nix OSes really need to die.

They can't... Not until something on par with them appears.

If at all, especially at below the cPanel's price.

They just subsidise it.

They likely have a grandfathered agreement that has low VPS license pricing.

Dedicated are cheap too at $19/m.

There are volume discounts on licenses for dedicated servers. It was rumored that some providers had negotiated below $25 rates on dedicated licenses a while ago. Some of those providers still have those agreements in place.
