I talked to a second vendor, ASAP Software and they've been told the same
thing. They're going to send me the announcement later today. So it seems it
isn't just MTM, but the vendors are just finding out about it. I don't know
about Internationally. Maybe MTM was just one of the first ones to be told.

Yeah, it is MTM. I started using them back when they were Vector ESP. The
message I got made it sound like it was an across the board change, not just
MTM. If it is just them, I might have just started looking for another
vendor, but we only have 70 licenses, so the cost increase is negligable for
me, and I like being able to go to their Stump Andy Jones presentations.

I got the same thing from a vendor. Was yours from MTM? Wonder who at
Citrix they pissed off?

I didn't see this mentioned unless I missed it in the Microsoft/Winternals
talk. My Citrix vendor just sent me a message that all SA purchasing is
going to be directly through Citrix and the vendors will just handle the
syncs, quotes etc. According to my vendor, everything will be retail prices
except for Open and Flex agreements, so if you get a discount from your
current vendor, that will no longer apply. This happens August 1. If they
just made the announcement on the 17th and the new pricing goes in effect
August 1st, I hope no one's price goes up drastically and have to renew
before a new budget cycle.
We're a small shop Citrix wise, so mine won't go up much, but it is
something worth noting.
I haven't seen anything on Citrix's site yet.
