Hi All,
I’ve seen this asked many times over the years on comp.os.qnx and I know
that QNX doesn’t like to post prices (because of the flexibility of volume
licensing), but I still need to try to get an idea what one license would
cost for QNX 6.
If I had to do it with no volume discounts, how much would I expect to pay
for the runtime (approx is fine)? This is for a production system so I
wouldnt need any development stuff. I would need the libraries though.
TIA,
Jim

The general rule that both WindRiver and QSSL follow is: How much is it
worth to you ?
They want to charge you the absolute maximum that you are willing to
pay. You of course, want to pay nothing; a compromise has to be
reached. Your corporate people call QSSL’s corporate people (or
vice-versa) and a deal is made. This is the way it works, and why you
never see prices (other than the developer seat price, cuz “yeah baby!”
if you want to pay developer seat price for each runtime, “they dig
that, baby - yeah !”
The best that can be said in this forum is that runtime licensing will
be significantly lower than developer seat pricing. You really do have
to call QSSL if you want realistic runtime pricing.

Why not just have a base price that everyone can refer to and then state
that volume discounts are available? I just don’t understand the need to
force someone to contact you and go through a sales cycle for a simple cost
analysis.

I’ve already tried sending email for a quote but no one seems to be able to
respond to me with a simple quote. All I’m getting is phone calls (I didnt
even give my phone number) to discuss what I want to do when I don’t want to
discuss it. I just want to know the cost of a license. It should really
really really be simpler than this. 
I am best reached by email, not by phone. If I wanted to do it over the
phone, I would have called first.
