Looking at the price tag on Openworld and I have to admit that I don't really understand the concept of CPU-licensing.

With 12 CPU's, I feel pretty screwed with a $20,000 per CPU license.

Or do I just don't get it and can I run a single CPU license on a 12 CPU machine?

Hi,

I can provide some useful info on this issue. Please shoot me an email at vbabu@peak-internet.com.

We have dealt with these issues before with much ease.

Thanx,
Venkatesh.

Hi,
I don' t think you can do much about this. Lot of customers have protested about the same with Baan. But I am not sure if the licensing model is going to change. If you have 12 cpus then you will have to pay for all. Maybe you can talk to Baan and check if they can give you any discounts and all.

But in short as per the rules, there is no way out.

Or if you can document that you have you E10K partitioned so that you can license at a partition level instead of a server level?

But two fully loaded boards on one partition is....12 CPU's.

This might work?

What ab't creating a new Baan Application Server (Fat client) with 1 cpu and connect the Fat client to the DB server

In this case OW processing power is limited to 1 cpu but u can
access the same DB server

Hi all,

cause OW (Broker) runs only Windows Systems you need'nt have care about the CPU of your Baan Server.

Normally you install an OW-Adapter on your Baan System (does no matter if it's unix or windows) and install the Broker as a Service on a so called Integration- or Broker Server on a Windows System (that's the only supported Platform).

So the licence price of OW depends on the CPU of the Integration Server and the quantity of the CPU of the Integration Server depends on the work OW as EAI-Tool has to cope with and the speed you like to have in your EAI-Process.
