Tommy, I've followed this post and I see where everyone has adviced you to soft-cap your system. They are correct, but I think your asking how you can control the costs on your OEM products, specifically CA products. You need to talk to your vendor rep. Several vendors, including CA, will work with you to arrange software pricing based on the softcap settings.
