RE: Not very rational for me

They wanted to buy the 1 year license because that's what they had budget
for.

So do I need to setup a license server to use that license then?

Thanks for the help. Jack

The initial fixed term license seems to be a one-year license where you have
to buy the full license again at the end of the fixed term. This is
normally what you would buy for a contractor whose term is up to a year.

The license we are looking to buy for permanent developers is:

IBM Rational Developer for Power System RPG and COBOL Development Tools for
i Authorized User License + SW Subscription & Support 12 Months (D0C5FLL)

It is not a floating license and has a $913.00USD one-time charge with one
year of SWMA. You would then pay SWMA each year (approximately 20% of
list).

It is the first option at this link:

1&part_number=D0C5FLL,D0C5ILL,D0CQ8LL,D0CQBLL,D0CTHLL,D0CTFLL,D0CQELL,D0CQHL
L,D0GBHLL,D0GBJLL,D0GBFLL,D0GBALL,D0GBCLL,D0LJVLL,D0LJWLL,D0LJYLL,D0LJZLL,D0
LK1LL,D0LK2LL,D0LK4LL,D0LK5LL&catalogLocale=en_US&locale=en_US&country=USA&P

Your business partner could probably get you a discount. Ours quoted about
24% off list for 20 copies.

Depending on your needs, you could get OTC floating licenses, but they're
more expensive ($1610.00USD).

I've been using the trial version of this:


IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software

5724-Y99, 5733-RDG, 5733-RDH, 5733-RDJ, 5733-RDC

Licensed Materials - Property of IBM

Version: 8.0.3


So we paid for the product below, which I'm guessing is the wrong one. I
can't download an activation kit, only a .UPD file


IBM RATIONAL DEVELOPER FOR POWER SYSTEMS SOFTWARE RPG AND COBOL DEV TOOLS
FOR I (AU) INITIAL FIXED TERM


Any idea what I did wrong?

We have a floating license if that matters.


Thanks, Jack
