Re: Lawson V5R2 to V5R3 Upgrade Cost (was RE: Is a used 170 worth it? )

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Wouldn't be hard at all on a P30 machine to get to these numbers if they 
were not current on Software maintenance/subscription. This is what make 
those P20 group 170's worth almost nothing - it's WAY cheaper to just 
purchase a 520 than just to get software on a big 170.
