Does anyone know if you can drop the maintenance fees for BUDR? Example: Say you want to replace BUDR with SC SP and you had purchased BUDR Licenses. It makes no sense to pay maint on a product you're putting to rest. But on the other hand, you shouldn't have to forfeit your BUDR licenses either. To me you should be able to use BUDR "as is" (no support, no updates) if you want since you paid for the licenses.
This seems like a question best answered by your sales agent.
You have to forfeit your licenses when you stop paying maintenance. Ridiculous I know. We just did it with a bunch of our licenses to move to KDB, which unsurprisingly doesn't work.
