Now that is a nice method of truly sizing the work done by the product. However, if the "jobs per months" is "hard coded", what happens it it is exceeded? Does the scheduler refuse to schedule any more jobs until the beginning of the next month? <shudder> Just issue nasty messages? Does a rerun count as another scheduled job? I think licensing a tape management product should be done by "number of tapes managed", which to me means the maximum number of distinct volumes which can reside in its catalog. DBMS's could be licensed by how many TB are managed. Or number of "table-rows". Or something like that. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
