- I have a question regarding licensing Sun Solaris RTU's for X-Terminals.
- I am considering purchasing a number of X-Terminals as an alternative to
- placing a Sun workstation on every desktop. I am confused as to whether
- I need to purchase any additional RTU's for the operating system from
- Sun for these new systems.
-
- I spoke to a Sun sales rep. who advised me to go ahead and purchase
- additional RTU's. However, when I looked in my Sun pricing catalog (May
- 19, 1992 pg. 75), I noticed that the description for the RTU upgrades
- reads as follows:
-
- Right-to-Use Licenses for Solaris on Sun Systems
-
- The description also mentions that these RTU upgrades "can only be
- purchased with a system or a standalone CPU board on the same order".
- Both of these things taken together make me think that this RTU might be
- applicable *only* to Sun platforms.
-
- Does anyone have a better feel as to what the licensing issue really is?
- Obviously, I want to do the right thing, but I'm not certain just exactly
- what the "right thing" is. Hopefully someone out there who has already
- gone throught this sort of thing can straighten me out.
-
- E-mail responses would be appreciated. I would be happy to summarize the
- responses and re-post at a later date.
-
- Thanks, Chuck
