Hi, Jeff,
The entitlement records, see below, shows that the BP customer # has
entitlement to both RD Power V8 and RDi on this machine. If it is the RD
Power (5733-RDG) activation kit you are looking for, the BP should be able
to log into ESS to download the activation kit for you.
Let me know if there is anything else I could help. Thanks.

Please check and let me know. If we don't have Rational SWMA, give me
details on it so I can tell the BP where to go (think nice here).
Thanks for helping with this.
Depending on what the answer is, it's beginning to sound as if the issue is
ignorance on the part of the BP.

Hi Jeff
This is what might have happened. You have RDi. You evaluated RD
Power.
You now want to upgrade to RD Power from RDi. You have full SWMA. but
it
is the IBM i SWMA, and not the RDi SWMA which is different. The BP
could
be correct when he told you that you do not have an active RDi SWMA.
If you have an active SWMA with RDi, your upgrade to RD Power V8 is a
no-charge upgrade. If you do not have an active SWMA with RDi, the
upgrade
order will charge you a re-instatement fee.
Jenny Wong is the world-wide expert on this and she can help to verify
your
entitlement to RDi if you can provide the customer number and the
machine
serial number.

Edmund,
Correct except for one thing. The BP said I was not entitled to RDp
8.0.
I
will be billed by the BP for it. Because I was on full SWMA, I was
hoping
that would not be the case. But that's been discussed here before that
SWMA
does not apply to Rational, if I recall correctly.
I also have a slight concern that the packing list(s) refer to
Japanese.
