P80? There's P05 to P50 tiers as far as I recall. If you've been paying them as a P30 since 2005 when in fact you had a P20, it sounds like they owe *you* a bunch of money.

Subject: 3rd party package vendor wants to start charging us based on active cores
3rd party package vendor wants to start charging us based on active cores.
Originally started with the vendor back in early 2000.
2000 - 9406-830 --> P30 Software tier
2005 - upgraded to 9406-550 --> P20 Software tier
2012 - upgraded to 8205-E6C --> P20 Software tier
For 10+ years that had us rated at a P30.
Now they claim we were rated incorrectly, want to rate us at a P80.
Significant increase in maintenance/license fees - 4x
Through the years, as we upgraded, we informed them of our new model, they issued us new license keys with no change in maintenance.
Could they be interpreting our current 8205-E6C incorrectly, or is this legitimate?
Anyone in the group have any similar experiences?
Thank You
