Agreed, I don't think IBM will cover that model any longer.

What's the problem? It might be a whole lot easier to fix than you think,

So, is the reverse true? If I do not have coverage and something breaks,
I can add coverage at that point, open a ticket and it will be covered?

Gotta report it while the contract is in force.

I had a hardware maintenance contract on my 8208-E4D that expired on
12/31/23. On 01/12/24, I noticed that a hardware error was logged on
12/24/23 (before the contract expired). I opened a ticket but IBM is
telling me that since the ticket was opened on 01/12/24 and my
contract expired on 12/31/23, the error is not covered.



It seems like the error should be covered based on the date it was
logged, not the date that the ticket was opened, Is the support
person looking at the issue incorrectly and it should be covered based

on the logged date?

Anybody have an knowledge on this issue?
