Thanks Pete and Jim.

This occurred back in 2005 when our maint was scheduled to expire while we were in the middle of an 840 to P5 550 migration.
We had renew the maint on the 840, took almost a month, back in those days.

You should be set when you receive your entitlement via Contracts On-Line from your BP.

Our IBM hardware/software service suite expired on 2/6.
Management finally approved the renewal, BP received it today.
My entitlements expired for downloads, SNDPTFORD, etc, even though I can log in.

Anyone familiar with the specifics on the IBM side?
What gets disabled, what continues to work?

PMRs?
Fix Central?
SNDPTFORD?
Entitlements?
Other?

How long does the renewal process take?

Thank You
