If I move to 5.0.7 it'll cost me about $4,000 for licesing 256 users (or
more!) because all my current licences are not carry on style. As for Linux
it's about $1200 upto 32 CPU's with Suse and about $800 with REDHAT.

Oh man, If I could get a key generator for OSR507 and make it 512 licenses
that's the only way I could definately wanna use SCO more over Linux.
