No increase in environment.  I think this is the result of "secretive
pricing meets budget cuts".  That's the only way I can see dropping
support on 18 out of 20 products and having the price double.

I also think it was inappropriate for me to post the question here.
This is not the place to incite or invite a "bash IBM" thread.  Sorry.

what happened? IBM has not increased the maintenance fees. Last year
they increased by I believe 1% per license. So your environment doubled
in size and now you have to pay twice as much to IBM for TSM support?
