Re: Informix - Free version

Sorry Frank, Innovator-C v11.70 & 12.10 DOES have a storage limit if you want to be compliant with your license. The limit, as stated before is 8GB on disk.

Innovator-C is free for any use except to redistribute. If you want to distribute Innovator-C (for example embedded in your product) then you have to negotiate a redistribution agreement with IBM and pay for each copy you distribute (the cost per copy is normally not a lot - counted in a few thousands of $$ rather than tens of thousands or more). But to use it within your own organization, no sweat and no cost. Art Art S.
