RE: IDS 10 Express Edition

This was the first thing I looked for. I can't believe they don't have a document on the website with a feature grid for al the various editions, clearly showing what is and isn't in each version. I thought everybody did that so customers new which version to buy! -----Original Message----- From: Neil Truby [mailto:neil.truby@ardenta.com] Sent: 11 June 2005 14:46 To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: IDS 10 Express Edition "Christopher" <christopher.coleman@mediware.com> wrote in message news:1118442717.360177.302860@g47g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... > Zackery England mimed: >> Yes, the oninit binary is different. >> The functionality that is limited by the express license is done so in >> the >> server, not just via paper license. > > Zack, > > Thanks for the clear language (if not the MIME). > > Can you point us to documentation showing exactly what is and is not > allowed in the Express? This would be *really* useful if someone could do it. One of the excellent UK pre-sales support guys kindly made the 10.0UC3E media available for me. It is indeed a different binary from the Enterprise version. I'd like to test it to verify that it does indeed prevent the disallowed functionality at the software level. Unfortunately I cannot find a list of these restrictions anywhere, and I've been all over the "Informix" part iof the IBM website. This has always been an issue with Workgroup too: IBM seem loathe to provide a clear and unambiguous list of what is not permitted in WE and Express in their otherwise excellent array of product information, presumably in fear of appearing "negative". sending to informix-list
