I just received a quote to move from HP9000-755 to ->an HP9000-J210. The cost of the license was just about double. That should only be the case prior to version 6 of the engine. From rev 6 and up of the engine, the price is soley user based. This is actually the reason we switched to the 7.1 engine before upgrading our CPU. It was cheaper to do it in that order (free upgrade--part of maintenance agreement, then you start paying user based maintenance fees when you switch).
