Yes. Several times with CA (back when there were numerous alternatives). Tell the vendor NO. Honor the contract and receive some revenue, or force the addendum and receive no revenue!
<snip> Has anyone else experienced this? A vendor for a mainframe data entry product used for the last 30 years (with a perpetual unlimited seat license) has sent us a contract addendum where they increase the price by 60+% and include language to change to a MSU based license. The use of this product is dwindling while our MSU foot print is growing. When questioned about the change the representative indicated government contracts give him no room to negotiate on price. This will be turned over to the legal department, but I am interested how others have handled similar situations. </snip> ::DISCLAIMER:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
