One of your implications is that of the supposed expense of the licences. The total of all of these is supposed to be included in the costed configuration, which calculates as approx 1/3 of the previous winner. Is that a problem?

Saving $8 million dollars still sounds like a saving to senior management.

It looks like we may be about to see some price competition for the highend market.
