Samer's suggestion makes a lot of sense. We can start with something like one
floating dev. license + 2 OPL licenses and buy more later based on actual usage. On the pricing agreement, it probably makes sense to get a guarantee on the discounts for additional licenses for one year (or till Dec.). I am definitely interested and can provide the share of funding necessary from my clients. Thanks, Krishna.

There are other alternatives (products) that may help in saving time and cost. Chonawee and I feel that one floating develoment license, and one or two OPL (a package on sale that provides modeling and optimization features) licenses will do. In addition, we need floating deployment licenses. For the development licenses, the charges should be split "equally" between the different groups that may ask for optimization help (although it is hard to predict who may ask for future help). We are suggesting equally since these licenses are used to develop the needed solution but are not (in general) used to run the software. The deployment licenses can be charged on per-use basis for different groups. Cplex is going to send us a new quote. We'll make the decision soon after that. -Samer
