Hello all,
I posted about a week ago regarding my options regarding iSeries development. Right now, it seems all logical thought leads me to using a hosting service. Except for one problem, that my internet connection is not very good, and a machine in my own house is preferable.
However, before I sign up for a LPAR on a hosting service, I'm making one last run at getting my own box.
On eBay, I can see a couple of 'Express Edition' i520 models. Looking up the specs for these machines, it looks like when sold new, these Express Editions would have been supplied with a one user entitlement to WDS. I'm not that familiar with IBM licensing terms, but in my language, that means it came with a C compiler?
If so, would the licenses for that compiler (and Query etc.) have to be supplied also with a used machine? These machines seem to be on V5R4, which frankly, is fine with me.
Even if the compilers were not supplied, if a license is provided with the machine, could I ask IBM to supply me with a media kit?
All the best
Garry
