Re: Question about upgrading RDP

[Jim Essinger <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jack,

I installed RDP 8.5 by going to the IBM rational website, and downloading
the trial.  Once I installed the trial 8.5 on the 3 machines here in the
office that already had a license, the software recognized the license, and
the permanent license was active.

Search for IBM rational RDP in Google.  The first hit I got was the right
one.
