New InterBase SKUS!

New InterBase SKUS!
Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:04:25 -080
We have new InterBase SKUs which are available for sale today and will 
be on our shop site tomorrow. These SKUS make it simpler to purchase 
InterBase licenses and also significantly cheaper for those with 
additional Cores/CPUs (someone with a Quad Core saves approximately 
$4500!). ALL SKUs include license for up to 8 CPUs. Most commonly this 
would be 2 Quad Cores. The difference in the SKUs is simply users. These 
SKUs are for InterBase 2007 only. InterBase 7.5 is unchanged. Note that 
the prices I list below are USD only. Other regions have similar though.

InterBase 2007 Server with up 8 CPUs and 1 user - $200.
InterBase 2007 Server with up 8 CPUs and 5 users - $750.
InterBase 2007 Server with up 8 CPUs and 10 users - $1200.
InterBase 2007 Server with up 8 CPUs and 25 users - $2500.
InterBase 2007 Server with up 8 CPUs and 50 users - $3500.
InterBase 2007 Server with up 8 CPUs and unlimited users - $4000.

Note that these license are not stackable in of themselves. IOW, If you 
purchase the 1 user and 5 user, you cannot get 6 users. Just as in the 
past, if you want additional users, purchase additional user licenses. 
For example, say you wanted 27 users. Then you would purchase the 25 
users SKU plus TWO 1 user licenses. You can still purchase additional 
CPU and additional Dual Core licenses if you need more than 8 CPUs. If 
you have such a system, I think we'd like to talk to you!

Note that the wording "InterBase 2007 Server with up 8 CPUs" is my 
wording. I believe the official wording is "InterBase SMP Server".
I've 
changed the wording just make it perfectly clear what you get.

Here is an example how previously someone with InterBase 2007 would have 
licensed a Dual Quad Core system with unlimited users

InterBase Server with Dual Core         $ 300
Additional Dual Core license 3 X $1500  $4500
Unlimited users license                 $4000
---------------------------------------------
Total                                   $8800

Here is how InterBase 7.x users will license the same

InterBase Server                        $ 200
*Additional CPU license 7 X $1000       $7000
Unlimited users license                 $3999
---------------------------------------------
Total                                  $11199

*Note for Additional CPU License: An additional Dual Core license for 
$1500 does actually exist for InterBase 7.5 on the sales list today and 
I think it has for a while. I don't know if has ever been sold, which 
means it could removed from the price list any day. You better do some 
talking to sales (who will probably talk to support) before you purchase
