Batch Job Server Pricing

A BJS server license is required for any Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, 2003 or XP computer where the BJS service is installed and started. The BJS service must be installed on any Windows computer that will be used as a batch job host where batch jobs are executed. Each Windows computer executing BJS batch jobs is considered to be a BJS server. Production servers, test servers, development servers, backup servers, emergency servers, disaster recovery system servers, and cloned servers must be licensed. Each of these computers requires a separate BJS license. 
The BJS server license types are:

Product code: BJS30A (1-4 usernames)
$700 US dollars per server license
$10,500 US dollars per site license

Product code: BJS30D (5-15 usernames) 
$1,400 US dollars per server license
$21,000 US dollars per site license

Product code: BJS30U (unlimited usernames)
$2,100 US dollars per server license
$31,500 US dollars per site license

These licenses can be installed on a Windows NT computer (Server or Workstation), a Windows 2000 or 2003 computer (Professional, Server or Advanced Server) or a Windows XP computer (Professional). Once a license is installed, the Windows computer is considered to be a BJS server.

The number of users shown above for each license indicates the number of usernames that can be granted access on a BJS server. Access to a BJS server is controlled by the Batch Users local group. For example, for the Server Type D license, up to 15 usernames can be placed in the Batch Users local group. Usernames can be specified using a global group.

There is no limit on administrator access. In addition to the number of usernames shown above, all members of the Administrators local group are granted access to a BJS server. Administrators, please check your networks for BJS software license compliance.

The client software for Batch Job Server is included with purchase. With a Site License Batch Job Server can be used on all servers in an organization within a 25 mile radius from the central location. This does not include servers in subsidiaries or other organizations that are associated with the purchasing organization but are considered by law as separate organizations.

Beyond 60 days from purchase date, the upgrade price is 25% of the retail license price. Software support includes technical support incidents and all enhancement and maintenance upgrades within BJS version 3.x. Support is available on an annual basis.
