Please be warned that if your business partner ordered RDp with your
hardware (eConfig) rather than through Passport Advantage, then the SWMA
renewal is not automatic. Please read Joe Pluta's article
http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/general/rational_procurement1/
for the background details.
I strongly advise you to be proactive in checking this out with your
business partner in order to avoid nasty surprises. I am not happy with
this process but it is beyond our power to fix.

We are one of the unfortunate shops that were never notified about an
expiring SWMA for RDP leaving us stuck at 7.6. Neither IBM nor our BP sent
any sort of notice - very frustrating. Of course, our BP says that can get
us back on latest RDP for free if we buy a new I :)

Hi Kurt,
Sorry, I am not allowed to give timelines either, but you will like it.
I found long and hard to improve the SWMA for people ordering with their
hardware. We have gotten more information out to customers on product
procurement and we appreciate Joe Pluta's help with that. But it is beyond
our power and resources to change the process at this time. A calendar
reminder will help you all to keep your SWMA current. I just wanted to
tell you that it will be worth it.

Edmund (E.H.) Reinhardt
