ICOBOL Pricing
(Effective January 1, 2007)

Unless otherwise noted, all prices below are list prices for the ICOBOL 3 product.  All prices are expressed in U.S. Dollars.  All prices are subject to change without notice.

Reseller and volume discounts are available, although some charges are not discountable.

Licenses can be purchased or leased. Contact our Sales Department for additional information.

Most of our products are licensed for a specific maximum number of simultaneous users or "seats", which are governed by the ICOBOL License Manager. In the Windows environment, "seats" can be equated to the number of keyboards.  In the UNIX environment, "seats" can be equated to the number of processes being run. The permitted number of seats is controlled by an encrypted license key in combination with a protection method that varies from platform to platform. The license key can be provided electronically and updated as needed.

For more information, please select the product or area of interest:

Note: All ICOBOL 3 documentation is in electronic form and is available for download free of charge.

Protection Methods

All licenses require a protection method. The price is not discountable. Parallel, USB, and Serial devices may be pre-purchased separately, which allows the license to be added later via FAX or Email.

Note: As a reseller, your application is also protected!

ICOBOL Runtime Options

  • Watch Facility: add 20% of runtime license
  • Cross-platform Authorization: add 10% of runtime license
  • (Windows) Btrieve-based* INDEXED Files:  add 10% of runtime license
  • (UNIX) C-ISAM based* INDEXED Files: add 10% of runtime license

* Requires the appropriate runtime license for the specified third-party software.

ICOBOL ICSQL Runtime License

A single ICSQL Runtime license provides runtime support for programs using the ISQL database access statements to access an ODBC database from ICOBOL.

$50 per seat

ICOBOL sp2 Runtime

A single COBOL sp2 Runtime license provides runtime support for programs developed using the sp2 Panel Editor and/or the FormPrint Forms Editor.

$60 per seat

ICOBOL for Web Servers

ICOBOL for Web Servers is available only for Windows NT/2000/XP and UNIX. For licensing, the number of seats equates to the number of simultaneously active connections to the Web Server Runtime (ICRUNCGI). The pricing is the same as for the standard runtime environment. The Watch option is not applicable.

Development Environment

The Development Environment License is available for $395 per seat.

All development licenses provide for support of the ICIDE on Windows. On UNIX, the compiler can only be run standalone.

Runtimes must be purchased separately from the Development Environment!!

Optional Modules for Windows

  • sp2 Panel Editor**: $1200 per seat

  • FormPrint Forms Editor**: $1200 per seat

  • Purchase both together for $1800, a $600 savings.

** Requires a COBOL sp2 Runtime license for runtime support.

ODBC Driver

The ODBC Driver is available for Windows and for most  of our supported UNIX platforms. Licensing is available in a read-only version and a read-write version. Upgrade pricing for increased user count or for changing from read-only to read-write is $50 plus the difference between the price of the new license configuration and the old license configuration.

Seat Count Read-Only
(per seat)		 Read/Write
(per seat)
1-9 $295 $395
10 to 24 $245 $325
25 and up $225 $225

Client/Server Access

Client/Server Access, as its name implies, consists of a client-side software component and a server-side software component. All of the client/server services are managed by our server-side redirector (icnetd). The server-side components are available only for Windows 2000/XP or UNIX. Licensing is managed on the server side, eliminating the need to install licenses on client machines.

There are four types of client/server services: File Access, Enhanced Logging, Character-mode Runtime Access, and GUI-mode Runtime Access.

File Access (icios)

Client/Server File Access (icios) provides remote access capability at the file level. The client software components that are enabled to make use of Client/Server File Access are the Runtime System (icrun, icrunw, icrunrs, icthins, icruncgi), applications built with the User Library, and the ODBC Driver. These clients can make use of the client/server file access without an additional client-side licensing charge (beyond their usual cost).

Seat Count Price
5  $250
9  $350
17  $475
33  $725
65  $1,075
129  $1,925
200 +
multiples of 50  		 $13 per seat

The seat count equates to the number of simultaneously active connections to the I/O server (icios).

Note: Client/Server File Access is required in order to share files among UNIX machines or between UNIX machines and Windows 2000/XP machines on a network. This product is not required for a Windows-only environment, but it has the potential to dramatically improve performance, depending on the nature of the file access activity.

Character-mode Runtime Access (icrunrs)

Character-mode Runtime Access provides remote access at the runtime system level using a character-mode interface. Access is provided by the Remote Runtime Client (icrunrc) and the corresponding server (icrunrs). The character-mode client has a very small footprint on the client and runs on Windows and UNIX.

Seat Count Price
5  $250
9  $350
17  $475
33  $725
65  $1,075
129  $1,925
200 +
multiples of 50		 $13 per seat

The seat count equates to the number of simultaneously active connections to the runtime server (icrunrs).

Note: The server-side also requires a standard Runtime Environment (icrun) license seat for each Character-mode Runtime Access (icrunrs) license seat in use.

GUI-mode Runtime Access (icthins)

GUI-mode Runtime Access provides remote access at the runtime system level using a graphical user interface via SP2. Access is provided by the ThinClient (icthinc) and the corresponding server (icthins). The GUI-mode client has a very small footprint on the client and runs on Windows but not on UNIX. The  server component runs on Windows and UNIX.

There is no additional charge for icthins. The cost is covered by the existing charges (see Note).

Note: The server-side requires a standard Runtime Environment (icrun) license seat plus an SP2 Runtime license seat for each  simultaneous client connection.

User Library (ICAPI)

The only Application Program Interface (API) license available is the INDEXED API which is priced at $20 per seat

License Updates

Updating a license always incurs a Service Charge of $50 in addition to an Update Charge that depends on the type of license update. The Service Charge is not discountable, whereas reseller discounts do apply to the Update Charges. Multiple simultaneous updates to a license incur only a single Service Charge. When a version upgrade is combined with another license update, the version upgrade is performed first, then the other updates are applied. The types of updates available and the corresponding Update Charges are:

Adding Seat Count

The Update Charge is the difference between the current cost for for the existing license and the current cost for the license with the new maximum seat count.

Adding Options

The Update Charge to add options to a license is the difference between the current cost for the existing license and the current cost for the license with the new options added.

Adding an Expiration Date

The Update Charge to add an expiration date to a license or change the expiration date in a license is $10 (also non-discountable).

Upgrade VX/COBOL to ICOBOL 3

There is no longer a discounted upgrade from VX/ICOBOL.  It is the same price as a new license.

Note:  Support for VX/COBOL was discontinued as of September 1, 2001.

Upgrade ICOBOL 2 to ICOBOL 3

There is no longer a discounted upgrade from ICOBOL 2.  It is the same price as a new license.

Note:  Support for ICOBOL 2 was discontinued as of September 1, 2001.

Upgrade ICOBOL 1 to ICOBOL 3

There is no upgrade from ICOBOL 1 (DG). You must purchase a new license.

Upgrade ICHOST to ICOBOL 3

There is no upgrade from ICHOST. You must purchase a new license.

Note: Support for all versions of ICHOST was discontinued as of March 16, 1997.

Convert OS Platform

Licenses can be converted from one platform to another within the same major revision (e.g., from SCO to LINUX). The Update Charge for this service is 70% of the current license charge for the new target platform. In some cases, a new protection device will be required and the old protection device will have to be returned to receive the discount.

License Update Examples

Add seats to a Windows Runtime to go from 17 seats to 33-seats with a 20% reseller discount:

   ((3135 - 2250) * .80)
+50
= $758

Now, use the same as above and also add the WATCH option:

   (((3135 + 627) - 2250) * .80)
+ 50
= $1259.60
