Patricia, IBM has been charging for Media and Storage Extensions since V4. This is nothing new and we found out about it the hard way when we did a V3R7 to V4 upgrade. It's not a new charge with V5R1.

What do you think? IBM'S DECISION WILL COST YOU We want to let you know about a decision that IBM recently made. When you upgrade to OS/400 V5R1, you will have to license the IBM Media and Storage Extensions (MSE) feature to run any backup and recovery software program, including Robot/SAVE. This is because IBM has now included a necessary tapeexit API in MSE. This API was FREE for many years. Now, IBM wants you to pay for it. The license for this feature will cost you about $1,000 per machine...... If you would like to voice your concerns to IBM, write to Kimberly Stevenson, Vice President, iSeries, Marketing, Server Group. Her e-mail address is kantwell@us.ibm.com. She can reverse this decision, if she wants to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This message is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
