Paradigm shifting ... if they are installing your app on their server,
how about pushing the responsibility for upgrades to them.  In this case
having the clients do a cvs up or such sounds ideal.  I don't know why
you feel you must somehow retain control of code that you are
'selling/leasing/whatever' to others to run on their server without
working into the agreement some access to their server.  I have
difficulty wrapping my head around it.
