Good afternoon,
I have little experience with licensing, however necessity requires it of me.
I have been looking after a CHUI database/application running on a windows server with < 10 users, running progress 8.3 and I am now in a position to address the version of progress. I appreciate that there is no path from 8.3 to 11.7, so will be a simple dump and reload of the data.
My goal is to move the client to 11.7.xx and open up the database with some form of restful API (Use of PAS I assume).
Given that has a significant time has passed since the days of 8.3, then I can assume that licensing has changed since that point in time.
So working with that information:-
1. Any rough idea on the cost of a workgroup server, for 8. Rough numbers.
2. Do we still have concurrent users?
3. Would the PAS server require a license for running the API?
4. What things should I be considering, any other costs that I should be aware of?
5. Any resources I should know about?
6. Maintenance costs. %?
I would assume that the rental of the development license for a workgroup server, at say £25 a month would suffice. Since I tend to use Visual Studio Code for editing code and only require a progress session to run / compile / manage database etc.
As I said, any advice would be welcomed.
