by reference in this registration statement the following documents:
(a) The Company's latest annual report filed pursuant to
Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), containing audited financial information for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996.
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the document

(c) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, filed pursuant to Section 12
of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement which indicates that
all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities
The class of securities to be offered is registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Inapplicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide
that the Company shall indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents
to the full extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in
which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. In
addition, the Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements with
its directors and officers which would require the Company, among other things,
<PAGE> 4
to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their
status or service (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a
culpable nature), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any
proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to maintain
directors' and officers' liability insurance, if available on reasonable terms.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Company's officers and directors for liabilities
(including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed
Inapplicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
See Exhibit Index.
Item 9. Undertakings
(a) Rule 415 Offering
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the registrant
<PAGE> 5
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) Filing incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents
by reference
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(h) Request for acceleration of effective date or filing
of registration statement on Form S-8
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE: JDA SOFTWARE GROUP, INC. 1998 NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN -
REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8
Gentlemen and Ladies:
As legal counsel for JDA Software Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), we are rendering this opinion in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of up to 125,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $0.01 par value, which may be issued
pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the JDA Software Group, Inc.
1998 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
We have examined all instruments, documents and records which we deemed
relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinion hereinafter expressed. In
such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to
the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.
We are admitted to practice only in the State of California and we
express no opinion concerning any law other than the law of the State of
California, the corporation laws of the State of Delaware and the federal law of
the United States. As to matters of Delaware corporation law, we have based our
opinion solely upon examination of such laws and the rules and regulations of
the authorities administering such laws, all as reported in standard, unofficial
compilations. We have not obtained opinions of counsel licensed to practice in
jurisdictions other than the State of California.
Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the 125,000
shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of options granted
under the Plan are duly authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock, and,
when issued against payment of the purchase price therefor in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement referred to above and the use of our name wherever it
appears in said Registration Statement.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich
