Either the P80 is a typo or this is their internal software tier. IBM I never had a P80 tier.

If it is an internal software tier, they can define it anyway they want. If they are using IBM software tier then they are wrong.

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
