I haven't sold any copies and haven't demoed the software in ages, It's good software. It works very well. But as you said it's overly complex to use. You can some pretty amazing things with it but you have to think of it as Odystar (which is really what it is). PitStop Server is very capable too. I think that I/we (tools4media) have 50 installs of SWITCH and PitStop Server for about the same price. PitStop Automate is $6k. I think that the biggest vendor for Automate is Artworks and then Pitman. No, there are no discounts and it can take 5 days of training.

I don't mean to knock my friends at Enfocus/Artworks but it's just so darned hard to use based on the feedback I've been given. And since there is not a Windows version it's a tough sell.
