It's software that you pay for and where you do not get access to the code. This is sometimes called closed source software. A good example would be Microsoft windows where you have to pay a licence fee for every copy you install. You also get no access to the code. With a commercial shop program we have to pay a fee to the writer for installing a copy for our customers. This is passed on to you as well as our install and setup fee. See similar questions...

Some companies (usually database or online learning companies) sell their own "portal" software. Either this software is installed on computers at your institution, or the company provides a hosting service to implement a portal specific to your institution on their computers. These might provide a more mature portal product. However, they may also lock you into a specific vendor. For example, a portal product built by a database vendor might only work with that database.
