licensing upgrade

[cfsindorf]

We need to add more to our licensing. When we went to our current sales person they came back with a 600K increase. The only thing we want to do is increase our PVU amount because the server changed from dual core to quad core. Who would you suggest we check into to get their bid?

The answer to that depends on whether you are a direct customer of IBM, or if you buy your licenses through an IBM business partner. I think it also depends on whether you have perpetual licenses or term licenses. The owners of this forum (BSP) are part of a US-based IBM business partner - they might be able to give you a "sanity check" of what the cost ballpark might be? Not sure if you would be able to buy via them, though - depends on your current situation.

Cheers!
