Re: SWMA on RDP - what has your experience been

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually things are getting curiouser and curiouser.  The price that I 
was quoted was the "reinstatement" rate not the normal renewal rate 
(which is something like 20% of list or about  $183.00) So the question 
is why was I quoted the higher "reinstatement" rate even though my SWMA 
had not lapsed and the answer, so far, is that the pricer used for the 
developer discount can't quote the "regular" rate.  I DO recall that 
being an issue last year but the year before (looking at my records) 
shows that I paid something like $198.00 so I am completely confused.

I did receive an off list response from IBM so we'll see where this 
goes.....

Thanks,
