For the past 6 years (and next 3) we lease a new IBM i. (the smallest
one). We lease the hardware, and buy hardware and software maintenance
for 3 years.
So 3 years ago , we got version 8 of RDI (or whatever it was called) for
around $1200-$1800.
I skipped the upgrade to 8.5 based on the negative feedback from this forum.
So recently I posted about a problem I was having in RDI and the fix was
'upgrade to version 8.5'. So I figure why not go to 9?
Imagine my surprise when I discovered I only had a 1 year license and
have to pay $1246 to upgrade.
As a long time IBM i user, I expect to buy all my software for the same
term. Yes, I understand RDI is from a different division of IBM. But
that is not my concern. I just want to buy the software I need all at
the same time for the same term.
Now maybe my business partner made a mistake. But if IBM wants us to
use RDI, then it should be sold on the same terms as os/400 and other
licensed products. IBM should do the work of packaging products
together, not the customer.
Sorry I just needed to complain to someone.
