Given a Mocha site license cost of $250, it might be easy to justify if two assumptions can be demonstrated: 1) CAE has a large minimum installation requirement (30MB minimum?). Setup time can also be significant. If Mocha is small and needs less setup, a site license might pay for itself quickly. 2) CA in general can take significant ongoing maintenance effort. Mocha might take a number of workstations out of that picture. With a good automated structure for installing, configuring and maintaining CA, some sites might never justify Mocha when many CA features are used. But simple emulation shouldn't need a 30MB footprint. Further, there are numerous reasons why Mocha and CA might be installed on the same workstations. For example, Mocha could be a very handy 'hot backup' to CA emulation for those rare occasions when there are problems with host servers such as the *SIGNON server -- Mocha could continue to connect when CA would be locked out. It's been a few years since I tried Mocha. Back then, I couldn't see it was worth the trouble. But I suspect it's much easier now given the range of compliments I've seen for it, and I wouldn't be surprised if it could be justified at many of the same sites already using CA.
