Some shops have found it cost effective to put SAS on a 'penalty box'. That's a CPU purchased expressly to run such products.
HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Ben Alford Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2009 8:43 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Cost of SAS Ted MacNeil said: "SAS is available with sub-capacity licencing options." Well, maybe for some folks, not for others. I checked with SAS (in 2006) and was told that their sub-cap license was only available if you moved your license to a larger machine and that 50 MSU's was the minimum size. That was no help for my shop. Has SAS changed their stance since 2006?
