Interesting... Based on what I'm reading in this thread, sounds like CA is reverting to the old Cabletron methodology of pricing per management module. The "device based" scenario falls in line with the next version of eHealth (v10) because there is a price per device (servers) or per element (network devices). NetQoS (now a CA product) used a similar pricing methodology for monitoring elements. Let's see what happens when v10 is introduced.

To me, it can’t get much simpler than the current Spectrum model. We paid an enterprise license; historically this kind of “simplification” causes the maintenance price to rise. Time will tell. From: Ferber, Raymond J [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2010 2:09 PM To: spectrum Subject: RE: [spectrum] Recent Spectrum Licensing Change Letter I recently received a letter from CA that stated they were switching to “Device Based” pricing model for both eHealth & Spectrum products. Attached is the letter in PDF format. It appears everyone will be migrated automatically to the new “simpler” model at the end of their current contract at No Additional Charge.
