Re: Obtaining the RDP update

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Matt/Arco.

My concern was with the license since I figured I could find a trial 
somewhere.  The license has become the issue!  Yes, we have SWMA.  Yes, 
we have an entitlement to RDi (all of which I can see in ESS) but the 
Rational Licensing web site (yet *another* place to go to get license 
information?) says that I need a site number that  begins with a "000" 
and a sales order number that begins with "00".  None of which I can 
find.  More interesting is that everything seems to point to Passport 
Advantage, which *my* customers purchase but I don't think a business 
partner has access to. As a BP I don't think we were given a PA account.

Looks like the simplest thing is to throw this back over the fence to IBM.

Thanks for the info.

Pete
