RE: Where do I get drivers to allow a GIS software package

["Wilt, Charles" <WiltC@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Repeat after me...

  I DO NOT NEED A CA LICENSE TO INSTALL AND USE CA ODBC, OLEDB, AND .NET DRIVERS.

If you want no cost drivers, you'll have to perform a minimum CA install and install just the required
components and the drivers.

If you want to pay extra for stand alone drivers, take a look at

Chuck, et al,
 
I'm somewhat confused ...  all I want to give the users of the ESRI GIS applications is a
configuration from their application to DB2/400, using ODBC or CLI or whatever works best, not another
emulator, nor data transfer capabilities nor any of the other CA functions and features.  I'm aware I
can create an install to limit what they can install and use but it doesn't provide enough granularity
on limiting features of the install.  Besides, while we have an i5 CA license, I'm not sure if the
license allows for massive installs.   Clarification and guidance please.
 
Thanks,
 
Dave
