Bob Premium Package for i
The $40 per month IBM i add-on to an IBM Bob subscription, required for Bob to work directly against QSYS, the IFS and Db2 for i on a live system.
The Premium Package for i is a $40 monthly add-on to Pro, Pro+ or Ultra. That produces published monthly IBM i totals of $60, $100 or $240 before Bobcoin overage. The package connects Bob to an IBM i server for code work, SQL analysis, testing and compilation. It also adds IBM i-specific modes and workflows. Without it, the base subscription does not provide the same live-system IBM i tooling. IBM advertises yearly savings on base plans, but buyers should confirm whether the add-on receives the same annual treatment.
