True, but thisis the first time in memory where the list price quadrupled too (don't quot me on the prices, but my understanding is that it is going from 10k to 40k). For shops on a tight budget, this 4x increase may present an issue.

Axton, But that same point has to have been said for any "version +1" of ARS too. You always end up paying support costs based on the "current list price". And I can not remember a time when the base price for the software went down. (Can anyone?) Meaning.... Even if SLA was "simply" going to have a v7 then support cost could still be increased year to year. It is a no cost upgrade to get the new key, but to actually use it then you have to pay for that maintenance too. :) Personally I am not loving what the "misdirection" appears to be for the OOB apps. (Maybe BMC will eventually get their act together.) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two. Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence.
