Re: SEU and V7R1.

I think that single-year thing works out to cost more after 3 years - if we say 900 for the initial purchase and 300 (I think that's high) for maintenance, then 3 years of 450 is the same - after that, each year is 300 for the authorized user license.

Too bad there's no discount for individuals like the ADTS trade-up.

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.

The IBM site says $964.00 and $760 but no explanation of what the
difference are. Colleague says it is $1,660.00 so went off that number.

Well, it's not new news. It has been mentioned here many times.

Here is one example:

Depending on your circumstances, there are lower cost licenses. Defined
user, perhaps? That was the cheapest way I found.

I can't believe this has not come up before. Maybe I am blind.

Looking at the articles on the new V7R1 features that Kurt sent out I see
this gem!

Here's what's really interesting: SEU's syntax checking has been frozen at
the 6.1 level! That means that SEU will not recognize any of the 7.1
enhancements and will detect these new features as errors.

This is a disaster!

Both my current company and the previous company have refused to buy the
RDI
tools and at $1,660 bucks I am not too surprised! Unless you work in a shop
where they will spend the $1700 bucks per developer plus maintenance you
are
effectively locked out of using V7R1 features unless we turn off syntax
checking. A big reduction in productivity.

Anybody know of any efforts to get checking turned back on in V7R1?
