Re: IBM Rational Developer for System i V7.1

Joe,

Does this mean the pricing will now be the same for P05/P10/P20/etc?

Thanks,
Brandon

At first, I thought the per-seat licenses would be in addition to
existing costs. Now, I understand that they will replace the existing
site licenses. In our case, we might save money.

The development tools will have multiple components, both server-side
(compilers) and client-side (development tools). While I can't give you

any specific details, I think the idea is to incent you to get to newer
technologies, both server-side and client-side. If you only use ILE,
you will pay less. If you move from ADTS to RDi, you will pay less.
And I think they'll even incent you to upgrade your ADTS users to RDi,
even if you have to do it one at a time.
