Re: Software Access Catalog versions

Daron

Software Access Catalog is not a path that regular customers can use - it usually has full packages for free download - you pay a partner subscription price annually for this feature. So we hope that Rational behaves itself and has the same offering to us developers. So it is probably not a matter of planning to purchase RDi - we developer partners should not have to, if things continue as they always have been. Of course, we know what assume does to you.

Pete,

Once you have the trial installed, changing RDi to permanent is a simple
matter of installing a jar file containing your permanent license key
via IBM Installation Manager.

If you do not plan to purchase RDi you may not wan to uninstall WDSc
7.0. Or, given you space limitations, be prepared to reinstall WDSc
after the trial period expires.

HTH,

Daron

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Software Access Catalog versions

I am trying to find the latest RDi/RDi SOA version in the software
access catalog. Anybody pulled from there yet? I'd rather not download

the trials and then have to update them with "live" code so that is why
I am trying to pull them from the Software Access Catalog.

I see:

IBM Rational Business Developer V7.1

and

IBM Rational Developer for System i V7.1

and

IBM Rational Developer for SOA Construction for System i V7.1 (only a
Quickstart Guide and an activation kit)

This IBM Rational Developer moniker is as bad as "Websphere".
EVERYTHING is called IBM Rational Developer or Websphere in this catalog

which makes it very difficult to pinpoint. Part numbers, if you have
'em, would be very helpful.....
