RE: Software Licensing for HA systems

For TAA Tools, if you want a working license for the second system, you
need to purchase a second license.  But if you truly only us it for D/R,
you can make the license for your first system work on the second for seven
days.  See:

Based on his later response I'd bet there's not a reason to have a HA
solution if he cannot use those two packages.

Software licensing fees are a valid reason to phase out a package. However
I'd make double sure that any replacement package was not similarly
affected.

Question,  Can you limp along with out those two packages for a short
period while in DR mode?  Are you implementation a HA system so you can
move users to the backup system while upgrading the primary system ?
Third, can you phase out these two packages?

Subject: Software Licensing for HA systems

I would like to know the experience of others with their software
licensing and how they have responded when they implemented an HA
solution
such as MIMIX, iTera's ECHO2, etc.

As we have started preparing for implementing the ECHO2 solution, we
contacted all of our software vendors about how we would deal having a
second copy of their software on the HA system.  What we have found is
that the software vendors' policies range from allowing the second copy
for no additional charge all the way to requiring what we consider to be

an unreasonable additional fee.

Our position with the vendors is that the second copy is only used as a
disaster recovery backup and we will never be using more than one copy
of
the software at any one time, so we believe that anything more than a
very
nominal additional charge is unreasonable.  We have two vendors who are
asking/requiring a fee equal to 25% of the list price for the HA copy of

their software which we believe is very excessive.

I would like to hear the experience of others and how they have dealt
with
this situation when they implemented their HA systems.
