Re: SEU support for Free format in the F and D specs

Thomas

I think I already responded to an earlier post like this. Whatever, right?

List price US$ for the authorized user license is $1120 - annual maintenance could be $250 or so.

There was around a 30% discount if you trade seats of ADTS (Application Developer Tool Set), the green-screen development tools on the IBM i. So now you're down to less than $800 - we do that for every copy we license.

Maintenance is based on the list price. But after 2 years, your cost with the discount is about $1050, after 3 years, $1300.

The floating license price on the site Buck gives is $913 - you have to pay that amount every year, it is a limited-to-one-year license with maintenance for the year. Personally I don't see much benefit to getting this license - others can speak to that.

After 2 years, your cost is $1825, after 3 years, $2738. for one license - now, yes, if you had 2 licenses and had 2 people using them in a day at different times, it would be like $1350 per developer after 3 years. Authorized user would be $1300, just a bit more.

But go to 4 years - now the per developer for 2 floating is $1825 and total cost for authorized per developer is $1550 or less.

I could be off some here, but it seems as you go out in years, it's better to get the authorized for everyone.

If you had 3 people using the floating per day, you would push the break-even out more, but you would get there, probably in 6 or 7 years, at a wild guess.

I just hope you can get the powers to see the benefit of using this vastly better tooling.

Vern

IANAL...



But yes, that's my understanding. If my company buys a AU for me to use

RDi, and I install that on my work PC and my home PC. If I leave the

company, I'd need to uninstall the copy at home and a new hire would be

able to install and use it.

As I understand it, the Authorized User license is for a person, on as
many connections and machines as s/he uses. Is it transferable to
another person?

I could install it on multiple computers, but only I can use it.
Correction, "Authorized User"
Authorized User
Allows a single user access to the software on any computer or server

installed. This license cannot be shared with other persons.
