Re: SWMA Addons for this year from IBM?

Hi Brad,

I am not sure about the others but we always remove 5661-WQE as we do not
use it and none of the clients we look after use it.

We always buy 5 years HW and SW maintenance with the new box which I
believe is the best way to do it and prices are locked in.

I have no idea what 10x pricing actually equates to ? care to share ?

Cheers

Don

I finally was able to get an invoice for my SWMA and it looks like IBM is
tacking on a few more bigger ticket items (I have a developer account).

Anyone know what these are? Finding out from IBM is like pulling teeth.
They claim it was a discount for people who didn't have a SWMA and these
were waived for a year, but I never had them for over 8 years and never
dropped my SWMA.

Here are the new items. It's basically upped the price by 10x for a
developer.

5661-WQE 1-Year After License SWMA for 5733-WQE (Purchase Only, @ No
Discount) - Appears to be web query, which I don't use

5771-ALS After License SWMA for 5765-PVS/VS3(Purchase Only, @50% Discount)
-
No idea what this is.

5771-PVS 1-Year SWMA for 5765-PVS/VS3 (Purchase Only, @50% Discount) - No
Idea here either.
