Re: RDi Licence Terms -- WDSCI-L

From what I saw posted, the $200 came about when Edmund's email contained

the value 20$. I guess they thought he missed a 0 and meant 200$.

The cost is 20% of the original cost. The current cost of an "Authorized
user" is $1180 so 20% would be $236. That's still not $246 but it's closer.

So, I have a invoice from my BP.
IBM RATIONAL DEVELOPER FOR I RPG & COBOL TOOLS AUTHORIZED USER ANNUAL SW
SUBSCRIPTION & SUPPORT RENEWAL
$246 (x 8 seats)

how do I get the $200 per seat?

Thanks for the checkup, Edmund - this is great news. I hope it helps
people convince management to go ahead with RDi.

Hi Edmund

Yes, the ADTS trade-up is still available in both sales channels -
PassPort Advantage or in e-Config (AAS).

Clients should check with their Business Partners or IBM Sales
teams

to

place the order. It's not orderable from the RDi Marketplace page.

I do recommend that people ___check with their BP___ about
whether

the

trade-up from ACTS is still available - there is an email in
the

WDSC

list from 2013 from Linda Cole of IBM Rational (yes, the

relationship is

not the same now), who says it was available and worth maybe
25%

off

list - maintenance will still be based on list.

If you look at WRKLICINF and see ADTS there, see how many
seats

you are

credited with.

Someone please confirm - BP or IBMer or whoever!

Cheers
Vern
