I just checked the pricing at http://www.novell.com/licensing/price.html >From what I can tell, the current list price of SLES8 on a Multiprise is $9,319.00, which translates to 7.515,32 €. Sounds like they're giving you a good deal.
If you're not running z/VM, then yes, that's going to be expensive, but you can create multiple LPARs with just one license, so you can drop the per-image price that way. If you are running z/VM, then it becomes easier to create multiple Linux/390 systems. I'm not sure if Novell/SUSE has a maximum number of images per license or not. You might want to check with whomever gave you the quote to make sure. Finally, stop apologizing for your "poor" English. Your written English is better than a lot of people born in the US.

We´ve got a Multiprise 3000 and are looking ahead for a SuSe Enterprise Server 8.0, but providers (Novell) have sent an offer around 5.400 €. It seems to be a "little expensive", ¿is these the real cost of the Enterprise Server? Thanks in advance and apologize my poor english.
