We did some initial planning with our BP yesterday and some initial looking
at the pricing for a 525 with user based licensing. We are a fairly small
shop with somewhere in the realm of 250 users that is very comfortable with
the current performance on a 1000/60 cpw type 520. In looking at the
pricing of the user based licensing 3800/3800 cpw 525 box, we're seeing
probably an increased cost of roughly $40k to $50k for each of our 2 db2
based boxes. That's not good. It looks like are some points on the
customer scale that this model will be greatly detrimental to... we will be
looking to get another 520 most likely prior to the end of the year. After
that, we'll have to see what happens to the way this new model works...

Is this how ALL pricing will be done for ALL iSeries sales from now on?
(by
user that is)
Or is it just for a select few models (what I am guessing).
Thanks,

Subject: 515 and 525 user licensing
Group,
I guess I didn't grasp the discussion on the new licensing counts very
well.
We have 177 user profiles on our system. 49 of them start with 'Q'.
Sometimes we sign on as QSECOFR but the rest are not used to sign on.
So I figure I need 1 seat for the 'Q' profiles - perhaps 2 if I count
QSYSOPR.
I have about 40 RF terminals in the factory that sign on as 5250 sessions
using a user profile for each terminal. Multiple workers use each terminal
entering a badge number for their transactions - the OS shouldn't care
about
that. So currently these terminals would need 40 seats. Right? But what
if
I change it so there is only one user profile
that signs onto 40 devices. Do I only need 1 seat now for the
factory?
I don't have any 'external users' using the system.
I'm thinking we need about a 100 user 525 but not sure exactly how to count
it.
I hope they go over this at COMMON.
Greg
