Re: Language feature code: 2984 vs 2924

Careful here. Unless you have some specific reason to be on 2984 there are heaps of reasons not to confuse the matter.

We have 2984 set as primary so we can have Chinese and Japanese.

Once set there are other ramnifications such as Client Access installed for 2924 won't upgrade from a 2984 system, ODBC xlat issues, and you can't use 2924 media for 2984 systems, etc.
