Ordering WDSc 6.0 with V5R1

Hi All,

Because of some problems ordering WDSc 6.0 with V5R1 systems we have put 
the following exception process in place.  If you only have a V5R1 machine 
then send the following note to you business partner (only IBM business 
partners can use the process below, your business partner will need to do 
this on your behalf.)

Thanks...


IBM business partners and IBM reps will be informed about the following 
process to request WDSC V6.0 clients on behalf of their V5R1 WDS entitled 
customers until Sept 30, 2005 (End-Of-Service date for OS/400 V5R1). 

Business partners should continue to go through the normal IBM ordering 
process using the configurator to request WDSC 6.0
for V5R2 and V5R3 customers.  For V5R1 requests business partners should 
follow the exception process outline below.

A business partner is a company that sells IBM hardware, software, 
solutions that are developed on IBM technology, and services. A WDS 
entitled customer means they have a current iSeries SW Maintenance or SW 
Subscription contract. 

Effective immediately, the business partner or IBM rep can send an email 
to the email address below. IBM will send the WDSC V6.0 to the shipping 
address provided in the email.

Send an email to jswong@xxxxxxxxxx
In the email, provide the following information:
Requester name (Business partner or IBM rep)
Are you a business partner or IBM rep?
Business partner phone number
CD shipping address
Provide customer name, number, contact person and phone number (Please 
ensure your customer is an entitled WDS customer.)
