- Siena College recently looked into upgrading our Vax 6210 to a Vax 6320. We
- believed that this could be done for under $10,000.00.
-
- After checking several sources and then committing to the purchase of the
- boards, we were told by Dec that given our eduacational discount that to
- upgrade VMS it would cost us $17,000.00!! This was something we were not
- expecting. Our sales rep was out on two weeks leave while we were considering
- this purchase and the sales rep we were put in touch with was not familiar
- with CSLG licensing so he gave us wrong information.
-
- Dec is considering this a new machine, not an upgrade. Has anyone ever had
- this same situation occur to them? Was there anyway around it? Any suggestions?
