A request quote I received to upgrade 4.3.3 to 5.x on a 4-way M80 indicated that the 5.x pricing is dependent on CPU count.

The ballpark number that Basim quoted is an accurate list price per processor.

As far as I know the cost is not determined by the number of CPU's or the
size of the systems. I just purchase 5 P43-150 systems and this is the
quote I got on the AIX license 4.3.3.

5692-AIX SYSTEM SOFTWARE $50.00 (Charge for the CD's)
5771-SPT AIX SW SUPPORT 1YR $450.00 (Mandatory)
5771-SUB AIX SW SUB 1YR $150.00 (AIX Software Subscription -
Mandatory)

The support and subscription a mandatory as of the end of January. You must
either purchase a machine or give them the serial number of an existing
machine in order to purchase the license.

It is roughly 1000 US per processor (this for upgrade list price).

Subject: AIX license costs

I phoned IBM Software Sales to ask the cost of AIX
licenses. I was told that I had to provide a serial
number of a machine that is registered to my agency
before I could be given a quote, and it is impossible
to find out what a license will cost prior to
purchasing a server.

Can would anyone care to make a guess what AIX
licenses would cost under the following two
conditions?

1. AIX v4.3.3 on a 7013-J50 with 4 CPUs
2. AIX v5.2 on a 7025-H50 with 4 CPUs

Thanks.
