RE: Software Subscription Question

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see nothing in announcement letter 398-041 that says the offer has
been withdrawn, and a search on 398-041 produces no other announcement
letters saying they replace or supersede 398-041, so the free V4 to V4
LPP offer for users of V4R1 (prior to 98/02/27) should still apply.

Septemer 30th is when the special transition offer expires, so if you
don't take advantage of it prior to the end of September you will have
to pay for V3 to V4 LPP upgrades (but with a 15% discount until December
available).
