RE: SEU and V7R1.

[Roger Harman <roger_harman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Going from memory, $960 sounds about what I paid (maybe a bit less, the BP
discounted it slightly).  Maintenance (after the first year) was around $300
as I recall but don't quote me on that.

What you saw are two different licenses.  One ($960) is authorized user (you
on your desktop, laptop, etc).  It is (sort of) perpetual in that you can
pay ongoing maintenance and get support/upgrades.  The other was a floating
license (check in/out) for $760.  Problem with the floating license is it is
fixed term.  You have to buy it again next year.

The IBM site says $964.00 and $760 but no explanation of what the difference
are. Colleague says it is $1,660.00 so went off that number.
