Re: SWMA Keys... Sending on CD/DVD now?

What browser did you use? that java stuff never works for me... probably
because of the date format issue, but of course I can't see the output.. it
just goes away.

The DVD is labeled:

"IBM License Agreement for Machine Code (Z125-5468-06) on DVD"

They sent it next day air via UPS. Kinda of a waste of $$ imho.

I didn't get keys on CD when I renewed, just the mysterious Websphere
and Web enablement CD's. Never understood why I get those on CD/DVD
when I renew when I can download from ESS. In any case, my keys were
available from ESS and I took the "Install" option and was done.

I have a feeling it's because I have a dev account. So I need to renew
them once a year.

I get a CL in a doc file (doc file? lol) from ESS when I download that
looks like this for each offering:

ADDLICKEY PRDID(5770QU1)
LICTRM(V7R4M0)
FEATURE(5050)
SERIAL(*LOCAL)
PRCGRP(*ANY)
LICKEY(xxxxx xxxx xxxx)
USGLMT(*NOMAX)
EXPDATE(2023-09-21)
VNDDTA(*NONE)

First I open it in Notepad++ and replace ) with ) + (so it's a valid CL
command).
Then I replace (*NONE) + with (*NONE) (so the last CL parm doesn't have

the

plus on it).
Then I replace the date with 2023-09-21 with '09/21/2023' (the date

format

they send doesn't seem to work for me).

I upload, compile and run. I've got it down to about 2 minutes.. haha.

Just for grins I downloaded my keys. Mine are all *PERM. Why do you

have

expiration dates?

How do you use the parameter *LICKEYFILE on ADDLICKEY?

Instead of a CL you could do this:
Paste it into Run SQL scripts

Search and replace ADDLICKEY with CL: ADDLICKEY

Search and replace VNDDTA(*NONE) with VNDDTA(*NONE);

Run All

So is IBM now sending keys on a CD/DVD now? I just got a CD from IBM

via

UPS this morning.

No real instructions.. just "thanks for your IBM order".

If it is the keys, is it easier to use than downloading them from ESS,
changing the date formats and using a CL?
