BPCS License

Dear Jeff,

yes ....  there's some information about a couple of legal challenges
 that were settled before reaching civil court. The information
is not current but it may still be pertinent. Please call me off-line
to learn more.

A document on our web site has a short segment which makes
some observations about the pre-GT standard BPCS license
agreement and related implications for CPU key pricing. You can
 find that document by going here ...

 ... and then selecting the third download off the list. This paper
was written some time ago so some of the content is admittedly
non-fresh.

Peace to you,

Milt Habeck

Has anyone heard about the various lawsuits against SSA for these practices.
I have heard rumors but would like to see if anyone knows anything in more
detail.


There are multiple past post stories based on SSA practices which may have
changed yet again.  Consider companies that are not on SSA Tech support,
that just have the license to use BPCS.  Now they want to replace the box
that BPCS runs on, and SSA wants to get them to return to OSG.  Allegedly,
SSA sometimes used tactics at that point that persuade companies that it is
time to leave BPCS entirely and try a different ERP vendor.
