Re: RDi licensing - single PC and multiple AS400's

I don't have a definitive answer. The most frequently quoted number I've
heard is 20% of the initial cost.

<rant>
This very issue is why we are upgrading to a new POWER6 machine with 55/OS
V5R4 rather than IBM i 6.1. We have a lot of code dating back to the
System/38. The code is perfectly functional and handles our business
requirements. Hence, the only value to updating the programs for ILE
would be eliminating the cost of the heritage compilers. So it appears
we're stuck with a overly steep price tag on our SWMA when we go to 6.1.
</rant>

But like I say, nobody seems to have been able to give me a definitive
answer on the annual SWMA price.

Is there an additional yearly software maintenance fee you have to pay

for

the RDi-SOA after you pay for the initial seat?

Thanks

That's exactly what they do. ADTS and RDi are both $795 a seat.

If I don't want EGL or Java parts of WDSC,
All I'm getting is ADTS equivalent, (actually not even equivalent,

since

RLU, isn't replaced yet and the screen designer seems to still be

beta).

But Now I have to pay more?

Again, that's what they do. RDi-SOA contains EGL, costs $1200 more a
seat.
