However if they already have apps running in the above configuration, most likely they already have some licenses. Mario Briggs By: Praveen Devarao RE: Pricing for licenses [ reply ]   2009-05-07 02:32 Hi Dinshaw, DB2 Connect Product (hence licenses) do not come with iseries. The suggestion of asking you to get in touch with the sysAdmins was that they would probably have the licenses already bought while they bought iSeries. Let me know if you require more info. Thanks Praveen By: Dinshaw Gobhai RE: Pricing for licenses [ reply ]   2009-05-07 01:25 Thank you. Do you know if it is possible that they never got any licenses? They claim that they don't have any and have never used any. Do the licenses come with all iSeries? By: Praveen Devarao RE: Pricing for licenses [ reply ]   2009-05-07 01:19 Hi Dinshaw, 1) They will need to contact the iseries admins to check if they have any licenses. If they are already using the ones they have then yes you will need to procure one. 2) Details of the product [all the editions of DB2 Connect ] and Licensing details can be found at http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/db2/db2connect/ 3) You can purchase the Product from the above mentioned site. Let us know if you require more info. Thanks Praveen By: Dinshaw Gobhai Pricing for licenses [ reply ]   2009-05-06 15:07 I am trying to get a client set up with a iSeries Rails app using the ibm_db gem with the 'IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI' The client says that they have no licenses. They spoke with their reseller (midrange) and were told that the license would be very expensive. My questions are: 1. Should they have licenses that came with their product? (An earlier support ticket said they should) 2. How much should this license cost? 3. Is there anywhere else to get it?
