Re: Downloading RDP 8.5 from ESS not possible

Hi Andy, Frank,

Do you obtain RDP from IBM PartnerWorld or as a hardware part number in
eConfig (ESS)?

I think David Wright described the ESS download pretty well. For ESS you
will need to order (or have your BP order) a no-charge update to make the
new version visible in ESS.

For PartnerWorld I don't really know their entitlement process but they do
have a download site at
http://www-304.ibm.com/partnerworld/wps/servlet/ContentHandler/swgben_trs_sw_21
so if you have a current PartnerWorld Id I expect that you can go there
and (I expect) log in and download what you like.

If you are using PassportAdvantage you should be able to log in and see
the updated version available to you if you are current with your SWMA.

And of course you can go to the RDP site
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/rational/products/rdp/ click on the big
blue button and download from the DeveloperWorks using your ibm.com Id.

Hi Frank

Having the same problems here in the UK.

Been chasing IBM support & Partnerworld without any joy, getting bounced

all

over the place.

I'll let you know if they sort it for us in the end.

Regards
Andy Youens

i would like to download the new RDP 8.5 from IBM`s Entitled Software
Support Site. But in the area Software Downloads I can`t find a specific
item. When I select withdrawn products I can see the old RDP 8.0. In the
area Software Maintenance Records I can see 5662RDP, which means 3 years

of

software maintenance. Software Maintenance will expire in June 2014, so

I

would say I should be able to download the new RDP 8.5. Does anybody

know

what to do to make this work.



Thanks



Frank
