Re: RDi vs SEU

Brad, a client bought RDi for my use. I use it on his machine, and 4 other machines that are not in any way interrelated. These boxes are V5R4 to Vnewest.

One of the things I really like is that I can develop a project on one box and then easily copy over to another, all in the same seamless work session.

And yes, copy/append & paste/next are great but with RDi you get copy/all and paste/replace. Much nicer.

This has been quite an interesting read.

Especially as someone who would love to use RDi or something besides SEU,
but just doesn't (mainly because of price and I've never had good luck with
IBM bloatware and refuse to use CA/IBM i Access until they get Ctl-C, V and
P to work like any other program in the WORLD).

I can't recall if this was covered, but for someone like me with my own IBM
i and also working with many customers and OS versions I'm trying to decide
what's best.

If I purchase a single copy of RDi and pay maintenance fees can I use that
on one of many machines (ie, my personal box, a cloud box, one of many
customer's boxes, etc) or is it tied to a specific IBM i?

Customers also range from V5R2 to V7R2 so that means the version of RDi I
would need would be old and "not supported". Or I'd need 2 versions
installed (is that two licenses?)
