You probably noticed the price difference between a 2-user AIX license and a 32-user license. We sure did. We are setting up a few machines for a few users, and we want the option to 1) let anyone remote-login to any machine at any time; 2) let anyone login under multiple userid's on his or other machines (handy for software development). A 2-user license won't cut it. A 32-user license costs extra. Following the advice from out local IBM reps, we made a request for quotation: will IBM sell us an 8-user license, and for how much. The reply: denied, due to lack of official demand. An "official demand" is a written request from a customer. Soooo, if you too would like IBM to price breakpoints between 2 and 32, do us all a favor and ASK IN WRITING! --P. Asselin Disclaimer: I speak for my employer. (I always wanted to say that)
