    If you produce a design for a corporation that offers franchises - is it right to charge them more, because they're going to gain more value from the design?

    I'd say yes - you would charge them more, partly because they are going to gain more value from your design (than a single store business), but also because the task of designing for a franchise involves a complicated set of requirements. The design has to be much more flexible and the problems that need to be solved by the task are complex.

    This can also be used as an analogy when selling software.

    If the software is going to be sold to many people - the developer needs to be aware of more variables (types of system, use cases, etc.. ) than they would if they're designing for one person.

    Because of this .. I'd imagine the code you wish to sell might not even be fit to sell on.

    In short -> don't do it.
