John,

We paid $6K for a Sun EBS 64 slot autochanger license for the same
library (Sun C4).  I was also shocked, especially since our previous
library licenses came with the hardware.

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
