Apparently I never drilled down far enough. I was on the website
https://www.ibm.com/products/rational-developer-for-i/pricing
which states
Starting at
$968.00*
per user per year
Now that I've clicked on the purchase now button, I see there is an option
for an authorized user license at $1,180 that is not an annual renewal. So
I don't need to buy it every year but the version that I buy now will be out
of date by the time that I can use it again. Still not a good option for me
but thanks for the feedback that I was looking at the wrong price.

FWIW, it shouldn't be costing 1K USD each year. After the first year, the
costs are for SW Maintenance Agreement only - which gives you new
versions/releases as well as support and (free) fixes. Go for a Perpetual
Licence as an Authorised User.

However, despite the above, I don't disagree that cost is an inhibitor for
RDi adoption amongst freelancers and smaller enterprises.

I would like to upgrade to RDi but I just can't justify the $1,000 a
year for the little bit that I would get to use it which for the past two
years would have been "not at all".
