Re: Is CA/400 free?

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

Heck NO but the myth and perception is that CA/400 is free.  The Express
Client shows it clearly during the install where there is a column called
"license required" where display, printer, and file transfer are marked
"YES".  CA/00 licenses cost $270/copy up to the max for that processor.
Then there is maintenance and then every 14 months or so, a $55. "upgrade"
fee.  Plus, there's the cost of aggravation when it doesn't work but that's
expendable isn't it?
