What kind of commission are you planning on having? For something with such a limited license pool, you're probably looking at a sales commission of 15-30%. Were you planning on this arrangement eventually resulting in a hire?

With my cost structure I could certainly offer a 20% commission. If somebody could sell like gangbusters, more than that.

What's the install configuration time? How many sales, theoretically, could one make in a month, and could that 20% commission cover a month of reasonable salary?

Salespeople are a dime a dozen, but, like programmers, a good salesperson is worth their weight in gold.
