On that very same phone call, the aforementioned Infor executive also said that for this particular situation, the cost for source code would be $2400 ALF. Just a bit below the $140,000 mark. We are revising the source code policy at Infor. See the posting on the ERP XA Product community on Infor 365 for comments on source code policy. Revised source code policy is under review at this time, as we recognize that customers have a need for green screen source code.

About 3 years after ASK MANMAN was purchased by Computer Associates (CA) I had to upgrade my hardware platform and was then going to transfer my existing MANMAN version to the new box. I had dropped all support with CA because they were not enhancing the product and for various other reasons as well. Because I was now moving to a different box I had to approach them as to what they would charge me to do so. Our install of MANMAN was what was known as "The Core Four" - (1) Manufacturing, (2) Order Entry/Accounts Receivable, (3) Account Payable and (4) General Ledger. We had one other MANMAN module that was a Service package. So we barely owned beyond what was normal for MANMAN users. In a conference room is Santa Clara, CA, with a straight face, the CA representative told me that doing this would cost me $400,000. This was for source code that I already owned (I didn't want or need a newer version) and the right to use it on a new platform. That's all. Not to bring my back support current, etc. We eventually "settled" on $125,000. That was in 1997. It still stings. So yes, I have definitely heard of paying that much. It is probably reasonable now given that 12 years have passed since my episode. Patrick Cusick Data Aire, Inc.
