Re: Apparently I misunderstood the entitlement bit... V6R1/RDi 7.1 from V5R4/WDSC 7.0

Hi All,

We have a P10 with active SWMA, and as such I was under the impression
that we would be able to get 8 seats for RDi as part of the entitlement
offered to people with an active SWMA...

No.

My BP is telling me that the entitlement only actually covers the
compilers.

Your BP is correct.

Has everyone here really been paying $795/seat to move to RDi? We are a
small shop and getting the budget for this will be difficult. Are there
enough improvements in RDi to warrant the expense?

Yes and it depends. It seems pretty similar with the exception of the App
Diag Viewer, which I haven't used alot , and the
Screen Designer tech preview, which again, I have not used too much.

Also, I read a while back that if you do not use the legacy compilers
you could drop them from your SWMA and save some money. Has anyone
actually done this, and if so what sort of savings did you see?

Not sure.

And finally, on a related note, I wonder if I could trade my
entitlements for RDi seats? If I traded in my unused seats and traded
in my legacy compiler support altogether, maybe we could get RDi?

Doubt it.

Wow. There is a lot of wishful thinking in this post :)
