I do not understand what all the hoopla has been, to be totally honest. I
just updated my RDi V9.1.1.1 to RDi 9.5.0.1 by just simply changing my
repository from 91 to 95 in the IBM Installation Manager. To IBM's
credit, the Install Manager A) updated my IBM IM from 1.8.1 to 1.8.3,
then updated my Version of RDi, and took care of loading up the latest
Fixpack. This all happened with just running the Install.
Maybe it was my misinterpretation of the Blog over the last several months
but this was really nice. I thought I had to download the new version,
then download the fixpack, etc. but after all was said and done I did not
have to do any of that. AM I just losing it or did I just get great
service from IBM?

Ha, sorry, it should all have been 9.5.0.x so 9.5.0.1 in that case ;)

Just to be clear here, if you have downloaded and now install 9.5.0.0 THEN
apply the 9.0.0.1 fix there is NO CHANGE to the trial license expiry as it
will be based on the 9.5.0.0 trial license. If you need the trial to
expire after Nov 9 then you will need to download 9.0.0.1 and install it.
However if you have a permanent license (Activation Kit) to install it
doesn't matter.
If you installed RDI 9.5.0.0 and find that the trial is expired and you
don't yet have your permanent license then open a PMR and ask for a trial
extension.
===================
Just to clarify further, do you mean 9.0.0.1 fix -or- 9.5.0.1 fix , Mike?
(Forgive me if I am misreading this.)
The Developerworks website implies that a PMR is _not_ required after
November 9th to extend the trial period:

I have tried this myself, since November 9th. IF RDi 9.5 is installed THEN
the 9.5.0.1 fix is applied separately there IS A CHANGE to the licence
period. (It changes from November 9th to 60-days.)
