IF annual maintenance had been in place, you would have been entitled to

the new versions of RDi, as well as the (free) fixes/updates. The
maintenance cost is cheaper than forking out for a brand new licence at
each version. (I said cheaper - not affordable.)

Hope this clarifies.
Brian.

There is an request (RFE) for an RDi-Lite version which would be free or
at least much cheaper. It's status is currently "Under Consideration." So
at least IBM is thinking about it.

You can add your vote at:

developerWorks requires an IBM ID for which registration is free.
