Re: IBM is so confusing! -- WDSCI-L

You are kidding right ? $886.00 or use SEU for free ?
Not much of a choice.

I'll take SEU any day over paying $886 of my own money. I may be slower, but
I bill by the hour, so it is in my best interest to stay with SEU.

Thanks anyway, but NO THANKS
Tom

IBM has two ways to buy RDp
1) - many people buy it with the hardware - through the configurator or AAS
2) but contractors like you can't do that, so IBM also offers it through
Passport Advantage. You can even buy it from our website
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/rational/products/rdp/

One advantage of buying it separately from the hardware is that the SWMA
expiry notifications work properly.
I have raised the issue of no SWMA notification for purchases through AAS
with those responsible. They have been aware of it. They tried a technical
workaround but it unfortunately did not work out. They are exploring other
options to solve this problem. I assure you that this was not done to get
more money out of customers. I will let you know when I have more details
of any solution.

We are listening.

Here's a thought.....

Install RDP and then install the 5250 plugin.

You can do SEU and GUI editing right from Eclipse :-)
