RE: SEU and V7R1.

Going from memory, $960 sounds about what I paid (maybe a bit less, the BP
discounted it slightly). Maintenance (after the first year) was around $300
as I recall but don't quote me on that.

What you saw are two different licenses. One ($960) is authorized user (you
on your desktop, laptop, etc). It is (sort of) perpetual in that you can
pay ongoing maintenance and get support/upgrades. The other was a floating
license (check in/out) for $760. Problem with the floating license is it is
fixed term. You have to buy it again next year.

The IBM site says $964.00 and $760 but no explanation of what the difference
are. Colleague says it is $1,660.00 so went off that number.

Well, it's not new news. It has been mentioned here many times.

Here is one example:

Depending on your circumstances, there are lower cost licenses.
Defined user, perhaps? That was the cheapest way I found.

I can't believe this has not come up before. Maybe I am blind.

Looking at the articles on the new V7R1 features that Kurt sent out I
see this gem!

Here's what's really interesting: SEU's syntax checking has been
frozen at the 6.1 level! That means that SEU will not recognize any of
the 7.1 enhancements and will detect these new features as errors.

This is a disaster!

Both my current company and the previous company have refused to buy
the RDI tools and at $1,660 bucks I am not too surprised! Unless you
work in a shop where they will spend the $1700 bucks per developer
plus maintenance you are effectively locked out of using V7R1 features
unless we turn off syntax checking. A big reduction in productivity.

Anybody know of any efforts to get checking turned back on in V7R1?
