We investigated Precisely’s current releases of the total product range. As far as we can tell, Precisely does not use an identifiable version numbering system.

Can you easily determine the licensing costs of Precisely Connect?

In many cases, it can be difficult to determine the licensing costs of Precisely ETL & Data Integration because it depends on the country, the number of users (and/or the number of cores if you want to run it on a server), the connectors to data sources, and at what point in the year you request a quote. If you request a quote just before the end of the fiscal period of Precisely, you can probably get a decent reduction in the license cost. In addition, it makes sense running the software in the cloud. Often you only pay for what you consume in resources. The purchase cost of Precisely Connect may not be the most important costs, but maintenance and support do put a strain on your budget each year.
