To fuess some numbers for this, Cubase 6 was ~2011, so sales would start in 2013, 11 years is 132 months, at $400/month that's $52,800 total over the years, and that was for about a year of work.

So it paid something, but probably not as much as a 1 year full time job would have.

I wish the numbers were that good. It only paid that much over the last ~4 years or so. The first 3 years it sold precisely 7 copies, all of which were to students of mine (and I was specifically not selling to them, they asked me about it, as I don't like the conflict of interest there).
