RE: Upgrading to new AS400/i-Series

If the customer has concurrent or registered users, then there shouldn't be a 
charge for the upgrade.

If they are Tier, you will probably be hit with an upgrade fee. MAPICS has 
different tiers than IBM, so don't think that if you are going from a P10 to a 
P10 there won't be an upgrade charge.

If they need to move, they will have to work with their affiliate and change 
from Tier to User.

To the list,
I need some assistance if anyone has gone through an upgrade to one of the new 
iSeries.  The question deals with any additional fees from MAPICS to move to 
the new box.

I have 3 customers that are interested in upgrading to a new box but have been 
told by the affiliate that it could range in the hundreds of thousands of 
dollars to do so.  Here is what they want to do:

1)    NO NEW MODULES
2)    NO CHANGE IN LICENSING AGREEMENT (IE: KEEP WHATEVER METHOD THAT IS 
CURRENTLY LICENSED)
3)    STAY ON THE SAME TIER BOX (upgrade is primarily for faster box, more 
dasd, more memory)

Has anyone gone through this and have you had to pay for MAPICS to give you the 
license keys?  

MAPICS, if you see this message, please contact me offline so we can discuss 
this...

Thanks to all...
Eric A. Wolf
