Ask your vendor about ordering the i at V5R4 - in one of the packages 
that might "include" the development stuff. Then you get a certain 
number of seats when you upgrade to V6R1 - at least this was the case 
not too long ago. We also sell i hardware, so I can verify with our 
sales guy who has the configurator.
