WEA Starter Edition V5.1

WEA Starter Edition V5.1 is for customers who want the benefits and full function of WEA, but who need to start on a smaller scale than is enabled by the processor licensing of WEA. WEA Starter Edition V5.1 provides the same program code as WEA, but has different pricing and licensing terms, and a usage limitation of 50 users.

WEA Starter Edition V5.1 allows customers to acquire the WEA V5.1 product for a smaller investment to meet current needs, then expand at their own pace. For more information or assistance, contact an IBM WebSphere software specialist or visit http://www.ibm.com/pvc
