Re: RDi Renewing Support

I believe it is called an Authorized User Licence. It is currently at a base price of US $1,150.00 per user and is renewable at the normal 20 (?) % per annum.

This page https://www.ibm.com/marketplace/purchase/configuration/en/us/checkout?editionID=EIDA3CLZ <https://www.ibm.com/marketplace/purchase/configuration/en/us/checkout?editionID=EIDA3CLZ> indicates that floating users are cheaper which seems odd because the floating licenses were always n=more expensive. In fact the price shown is more like the price of the one year non-renewable option which is what you seem to have.

I have reached out to my IBM contacts to ask for an answer and will post here when I get it.

Jim, Jon, how do I make sure we either get the correct version, or purchase
the correct version going forward? Is there a product number, certain key
words and tricky phrases, or special incantation that would mean something
to the business partner that would help them find it?

Just a rant here... WHY is it so difficult to buy software from IBM?? It
really should not be this difficult.

What should the cost to renew support for RDi be? We have the Authorized
User License, and our business partner wants to charge us full price every
year. That doesn't sound right to me.
