Re: SEU and V7R1.

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can get it much lower than that.  

The cheapest is to buy a single year license for about $450 or so and ante up each year. 

Another option is to trade in some of your ADTS licenses (PDM, SEU, etc.) for a discount on the cost. Most shops have "spare" ADTS seats because the initial entitlement was based on processor group.

There have been many threads on the different cost options in the WDSC-L list.
