And, after you get it, stay current on maintenance. The RDi team is constantly improving the product.

There is a learning curve but your productivity will increase a LOT. I've made 2-1/2 converts in my shop of 3 plus me. One is just stuck-in-the-mud but he dabbles at it.

If I had to go to a shop that wouldn't buy it, I'd buy it myself - seriously. Of course, I wouldn't (willingly) go to a shop like that.

Buck had a really good essay on how it has helped him.

Subject: RE: What Do I Need to Know/Do about RDi

When we first acquired RDI, we purchased one license.
Single copy, could be used on the workstation is was installed to.

Latter, when multiple users needed to access, we acquired two floating licenses.
The floating licenses have worked out better for us.

Research the license options, you have options.

I don't want to speak for Doug, and while I'm sure he appreciates all
the responses so far, it sounds like his boss doesn't really need much
arm-twisting. If I were in his shoes, I think I would be most
interested in the pricing options and recommendations on how to choose
among those.

I haven't had to keep those straight in my mind, because my shop isn't
at the stage where we're even considering RDi. But I vaguely recall
that there's a "floating license" (or maybe I have the name wrong)
which almost nobody recommends. It seems to only be a good deal for
very special circumstances, and occasionally we hear on these lists
from someone who unwittingly got stuck with that one and regretted it.
This is the kind of help I'd want if I were in Doug's place.
