I just did a V3R2 to V4R1 upgrade over Christmas, where 5763XA1 was
replaced by 5769XW1 & 5769XY1, and everything upgraded OK.  I didn't end
up with 5763XA1 left on the system back-levelled.

        Subject:        Major Bug in upgrade from Client Access 3.1 to
3.7

        We recently upgraded from V3R1 to V3R7.  We originally had the
V3R1 level of
        5763-XA1 (Client Access base) and the V3R1Mx versions of
5763-XB1 (CA Extended
        DOS) and 5763-XC1 (CA Windows).

        Since we had recently ordered the upgrade, IBM now ships 5716XW1
and 5716XY1
        as the replacement for 5763-XA1.  You will not receive the V3R6
version of
        5716XA1 on your CD.

        But there is a bug in licensing code for which there is not yet
a PTF.  When
        the PC's try to connect, they are still looking for the XA1
code.  But you
        will see the code is backleveled in your 400 (since there was no
replacement
        on the CD)!  

        The only solution at this time is to get the V3R6 version of XA1
from someone
        you know.  IBM software distribution won't send it to you since
it is now
        listed as obsolete.  And you cannot connect without it.  

        I would imagine there would be a PTF for this shortly.  But if
you are
        planning a conversion in the next couple of weeks, please be
aware of the
        above scenario.
