Re: Model 150 & V5

A 40S is not a model 150.  Model 150's had no software subscription
available and you had to repurchase any new release required, at a
reducted price (lower than P05) with special valu-pak pricing for most
common software.  That has now gone away and you must repurchase at full
P05 prices to upgrade a 150.

I don't follow you...I got a quote on Wednesday from IBM to get current on
my software on my 40S (vintage 1995-1996), P05 processor group, running
V3R6.

To get a 3-year software subscription for the OS and all LPP's that I have
(Query, SQL, compilers..) was just over $5,000.  This includes WDS.  They
didn't indicate to me that I had to repurchase anything...only that I had
to
pay the "upgrade" charge for being on an unsupported vers of OS/400 and
LPP's.

Any other users out there severely financially impacted by IBM's decision
to eliminate the S/W package pricing, forcing you to repurchase all S/W at
full P05 tier pricing if you want to run V5 on a model 150 ?
