Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
I'd like to know how different sites handle the Vxworks target license
issue.
I recently got a quote from WindRiver It shows two price structures.
Plan A is to buy target license one by one (or mutiple at a time), and
later orders are independent of your previous orders. There is no need
to sign anything.
Plan B is cheaper, and we could lock the price for the later purcases
for the life of our project. (for example, I pay 10 license now for
4875, and all later license purchases will be $487.5/ea). But the catch
is that you'll need to sign a license agreement. At BNL, it's the legal
department's job (which means lots of paper work, and they'll have to
approve the agreement).
------------------
Plan A:
Quantity Base_price Incremental Price/unit
1-4 1200 1170
5-9 5880 1008
10-24 10920 792
25-49 22800 480
50-99 34800 312
----------------------------------------
Plan B: (requiring to sign a target license agreement)
Volume_band Quantity per_unit_price PO_minimum
1 1 975 975
2 10 487 4875
3 100 225 22500
....
----------------------------------------
Obviously, if we could adopt Plan B it will be much cheaper (and easier)
for other beamlines to follow us to move to EPICS (at $487/ea compared
to
1200/ea, for example).
I am just wondering how the target license issue is handled in various
EPICS sites. Particularly in sites where large number of target
licenses is required (e.g., APS)
