RE: IDS Runtime & IDS Development

Since moving to user-based pricing, there has been no differentiation of runtime versus development for the IDS product. In fact, even while Informix was selling the forerunner to IDS, Informix-OnLine, they were reported to be the same code even though you paid less for the runtime license. What you may find now is that there are different products (like IDS, IDS Personal Edition and IDS for Workgroups) but this is not modelled on the runtime versus development scheme (I think). To determine the product version and serial number of the IDS product, run the following as user informix: $ oninit -V To determine the product version and serial number of your I4GL (which is the 4GL C-compiler product; as opposed to the R4GL which is the 4GL Rapid Development System (RDS) product), run the following: $ c4gl -V If you do not have the c4gl program in $INFORMIXDIR/bin, then you may have the runtime version of I4GL. I don't have the product, so I can't suggest a command to run to get the version and serial number. Hope this helps.

How can I determine the type of IDS (Run / Dev)? I don't have License Info. cards. How can I find out the License S/N for I4GL Runtime? Thanks, Nick.
