Re: Informix License related questions

I hope this helps. 1. You can't. 2. Nope. you would have to monitor it with some home grown scripts. 3. They are the same code. You just pay differently based on how you will use it. 4. I wish there was. It has been very painful to manage in this shop. Mostly because I inherited it from a previous person. hash100@mail.eclipse.net (Atiq Hashmi) on 10/25/99 12:03:14 PM Please respond to hash100@mail.eclipse.net (Atiq Hashmi) To: informix-list@iiug.org cc: (bcc: Dan Weeks/AGInc) Subject: Informix License related questions Hi, I have these license related questions 1. How can you tell how many number of licenses an informix installation has or was installed with ? 2. Is it possible that if you bought 10 licenses for an informix software, you install informix only with a subset e.g. 2 or 4 licenses ? (e.g. if you want to test your applic. such that informix runs out of licenses soon). 3. What is the diff. b/w dev. and runtime license ? Are they one and same ? a) ie. say you invoke 'isql' in parallel in 3 seperate windows, do you consume 3 licenses ? b) Similarly when I compile my embedded esql program, do I consume a dev. license or a runtime license. 4. Is there any online doc. that explains how licensing works ? Thanks much for any info. Please also cc me your reply. -Atiq

No! Informix 4gl Dev Includes c4gl compiler Informix 4gl Runtime DOES NOT include c4gl compiler isql dev can compile ace reports isql runtime (?? may not be able to compile ace reports). >4.
