"PDM is for system management" is part of the point. I can't give up my license for that in exchange for something that doesn't do that. I'll probably put RDP on to test it out, as I know many things are improved from WDSCi 7.0.0.8. Eventually I'll have that licensing discussion with our BP to see if we even have an issue to worry about.

I never say that RDP completely replaces ALL licenses of ADTS. Just all but one. :) I always prefer to have one seat of ADTS for all the various system management things that need to be done, and also if I ever have to edit CL from the system console.

If you're a one-person shop the justification is a little more difficult; you really need one seat of each. But the productivity gain of RDP for programming will offset its cost very quickly. Just color coding and having 250 lines of source on the screen is worth an hour or two a week. During analysis phases, the search functions is worth an hour a DAY. Easy.

Are 50-100 hours a year (and IMHO that's VERY conservative) worth the initial $700 or whatever and the 20% maintenance?
