I did not know that the difference is that large! I'm working in
Germany, too and I am lucky that my institute has a set of 35 floating
licenses last year. However, discounts get larger, the more licenses
are bought. The problem is that IDL is not distributed by ITTVis but a
"local" firm called Creaso. Creaso does nothing else than sell IDL in
Europe, provide a mediocre support and - looking at the number you
gave us - live quite good with it.

I think it would be better, if ITTVis would distribute it themselves.

Sincerely
Jan
