284.0. "LOOKING FOR PCM /OSF1 LICENCE PRICES" by ANNECY::WHARMBY_M () Mon Jun 20 1994 10:39


Hello,

Although I have found an SPD dated May 1994 and saying PCM V1.1 is 
supported on OSF/1, we are not able to find the price of the corresponding 
licence in PACS system.

We'll be using Ultrix version system price for our proposal, unless someone 
give us the MLP price of the concurrent licence price for OSF/1 (QL-2PDA*-**, 
and media QA-2PDA*-**, and documentation QA-V01AA-GZ). 

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Marc

    Reply has been sent to Marc.  The pricing across platforms is the
    same: $74,400 for unlimited license, $698 for concurrent.  
    
    I will check with PACS system (after I find the right contact person)
    to make sure the pricing gets in there.
    
    Question about concurrent licensing, just to make sure I've got it
    right:
    
    If a customer wants to monitor 30 systems/devices from his console,
    but only 15 of them at any one time simultaneously, he still has
    to purchase 30 concurrent licenses, correct?  Or can he get away
    with purchasing 15, and switch the devices that are being monitored
    around?
    
    Thanks,
    Rae

  The customer can get away with purchasing 15, they will have to enable
  the systems they need to access in the database, disabling the ones
  they dont, then perform a reconfigure in order to manage the newly
  enabled systems.

  Why would the customer want to do it this way? Its not as though the
  licenses are expensive!!

Cheers,
Phil

    If you knew how cheap some customers are you wouldn't be asking this
    question. ;-}

    Dan is right... :)  
    
    Thanks for the quick response, Phil.  You folks are giving the
    Scheduler team a run for their money in response time for notesfile
    questions.
    
    Ann and I also talked about the concept of a "backup" license, where
    the product would be installed on a backup system, and would only be
    started up if the primary console system failed.  The backup system
    would then need to check and see if the primary one is running and if
    so it would shut itself down.  Lots more to work out there, but it
    was a thought.
    
    Thanks,
    Rae

    Interesting idea especially since Phil and the gang have already coded
    some hooks into the exisiting version to accomodate an active fail-over
    environment, i.e., the primary and secondary watch each other.
