Yes Dave and i agree with you . (apart that if it doubles to a 5 figure number it is already half a five figure number :-)) ) I never had an onsite inspection from any vendors ( including IBM who asks me to sign on my honor or whatever that i do not fiddle with the records for sysplex pricing for example ) But your product does not endanger a DR plan , your product does not affect the production of 5000 users . Or does it ? I agree on some non critical product , but having a scheduler ,a tape management system ,an automation or a batch preparation tool with a key is what bothers me too much .
