I cannot disclose our exact number, but can confirm that your experience is the 
same as mine.  Our 32slot library license is by far the most expensive 
component.  Our maintenance on our library license is 3 times more than the 
base software.  Go figure.

Subject: [Networker] Price of Library license for Networker

We've just started using Networker. When we purchased the software, the vendor 
did not include licenses for DiskBackup or a Library. Needless to say, that 
makes the sofware useless. We've been using temp licenses until they could get 
us a quote for the perm licenses.

The quote arrived yesterday, and I fell out of my seat when I saw it. $5,100 
for a license for our tape library. (a Quantum PX502, 38 total slots).

That seems outrageous to me. Would someone mind telling me what they paid for a 
library license for a library with a similar number of slots.

Thanks,

John
