Or is this only for the license, OS support contract (1 yr), and media? Keep in mind, the license cost is higher if it's a bigger system (more processors / faster processors). Cheapest for us was license cost for our B50s but our larger machines like the 6H1 (6 processors) started to approach about EUR 1000. -Dan      |

My guess is that with difficult economic times, IBM is trying to make sure they can get as much revenue as they can, and they did not check too carefully for this stuff with v4 so they may have lost some potential revenue. They seem to be more careful about this with v5. So, it looks like if you want to migrate to v5 legally, will need to pay the licensing cost. I don't recall what other vendors charges (such as Sun) but it may be comparable. -Dan |
