Re: Problems upgrading to V4R5 from V4R4

Welcome to the Club.

        I just had the same problems going from V4R3 to V4R4. It seems the
CD is Labeled one thing and the software another. I used the Wrk.....
command to examine the CD and when I found out what was there I used it as
the basis for the rstlicpgm to get the code on the system..

        An yes I agree on the Support Line  VS Warranty issue, but I am
loosing that war as of now.

        Good Luck,
        JMS...
