I've been reading this thread, and I have a few opinions:

1).   I truly believe that the licensing scheme that IBM is currently using
cannot be hacked.  I could be wrong, but it looks fairly good to me.  When
we developed the licensing scheme for TAA Tools, we avoided the IBM stuff
because it was toothless, but we chose to use it in APRM (our new LPAR
management tool).

2).   IBM's attempt to transition people from PDM/SEU to code was too lame.
The initial requirement of OS/2 was the final nail in the casket.  The only
person that I know that can use the PDM like functions in CODE is Phil
Couthart, which speaks poorly for that part of the product.  (If anyone can
use the PDM like functions as well as PDM, please post this.)  IBM needs to
reinvigorate SEU/PDM or put on a push to get people to CODE, but has done
nothing for years.

So very few developers have moved to Code/Flex/Studio and so very many use
SEU/PDM exclusively that I think this will cause widespread hacking of the
iSeries licensing scheme.  I don't think there's another licensed program
that more people want and use than PDM/SEU.  That includes Client Access.
Look at how many requests we see for free/low cost emulators!  People are
willing to leave the IBM fold for everything except SEU.

Here's my rhetorical question:  If IBM were to offer support for SEU (say
SQL prompting), paid for by direct subscription costs and not buried in the
WDSc umbrella, how much would the SEU users be willing to pay?  IBM will
probably support SEU if they can demonstrably make money doing so.
