Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

It should not be a "floating" license... we are not a development shop. In fact, we are a small company under 100, with an IT staff of 2. We connect to ONE IBM i.

I thought that was a lot of dough for maintenance of a single user PC license. Can anyone else confirm?

Re: [WDSCI-L] RDi 9.5 announcement

I thought the same thing... My bill for 3-year maintenance on RDi
with the RPG/Cobol toolset was $2040. We have 2 licenses purchased
in June of 2014 @ $965 each.

That comes out to just over 35% annual maintenance, and you get
technical support that is always in "callback" mode. Pretty steep.
Hey, wait a minute - I could just buy it every 3 years and save some

money!

Is it by chance a "Floating License"? I just checked and our support cost
for the licenses in our shop is just a shade over $200 each.
