Subj : IBM Developer's Toolbox To : Will Honea From : David Noon Date : Thu Oct 12 2000 01:49 pm Hi Will, Replying to a message of Will Honea to David Noon: DN>> As Will has confirmed, it is the whole enchilada, including DN>> HPFS386. The IBM products are shipped as a single, perpetual DN>> licence for each subscription. Thus, I can have a single WSeB DN>> server forever using this software. WH> I missed that - where did you find it? The licensing arrangements vary from product to product. The IBM products are all perpetual licences unless they are stipulated otherwise, as near as I can tell. WH> Last time I bothered to read WH> the license it was still limited to the next release or 18 months WH> (something like that). Those were the conditions for volume 1 of Dev Con. They changed them for IBM products in Dev Con 2, as per my paragraph above; the rules for OEM products were always product-specific. Occasionally there would arrive a delivery in which an OEM product had been deleted, and these stipulated that any existing installation of that product should be deleted. But I have not seen that for any IBM products [not that I installed absolutely all of them]. WH> Not that I set a timer... The time-limited products usually have a timer in them. WH> I thought the off-colored CD for the one with the index was a nice WH> touch, BTW. Beats having to be able to read the thing's label. ... :-) Regards Dave --- FleetStreet 1.25.1 * Origin: My other computer is an IBM S/390 (2:257/609.5) .
