RE: CAE Licensing

We are on V5R1 here on an 820, and occasionally get the licensing message at
the PC,
running about 75 PC's with 2-4 sessions per.  Our messages seem to come up
with
any version of windoze (still have some Win95/98 boxes here).

You should not get the message any more than you are now, but if it is
too much of an annoyance, we have purchased another product that originally
was for customers to log on over dial up, but that has gone the way of
a internet connection now, the product is Mochasoft, a corp license was $250
when we bought it, the screen says this is the web site (www.mochasoft.dk)

A search engine should show you some other options, or there may even be
some in the archives of the midrange list.

Subject: CAE Licensing


Working on an upgrade for our 170 to a 270.  Running v5r1 now and it will be
the same on the 270.  In pricing out the system upgrade, I was surprised to
know that while CAE is "unlimited use"  it does have a limit of "10
concurrent users".  We have been using this setup on the 170 with 20-22
concurrent users(desktops, not sessions) since installation in 1999.  We are
not getting any licensing errors expect for a very rare occasion with WinXP
CAE desktops.  We do not get any qsysopr licensing messages.  I am told that
if license messaging or access limitations happens with the new 270, CAE
licenses are $275 each.

Can anyone tell me if I can expect the need to purchase these licenses?  I
am considering using a freeware 5250 client(recommendations?) for those
machines that do not need file transfer, etc. vs. purchasing approx $2200 in
extra licenses.  We are connecting via tcp/ip.

Not much incremental cost, I realize, however I would like to turn my
budgeted amount into hardware features not extra licenses I have been doing
without for three years, you know?

Thanks,
