Hi Jim
The fact you have received RDi with your V7R2 media, indicates that you
have purchased your version of RDi through ESS.
See this link
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/W5655eb35823a_4511_8970_3f665cc5d557/page/Ordering%20process%20for%20Rational%20Developer%20for%20i
for details on the 2 sales channels.
But given that you have purchased through ESS, you never have to go to
Passport Advantage (if you are then maybe you are double purchasing your
licenses).
On the media, you will have both the full copy of RDi and the activation
kit (license). Alternatively you can download this from the ESS support
site
https://www-304.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ess/ProtectedServlet.wss
This process is described in this blog
The ESS will have the latest version and latest activation kit as long as
you keep your SWMA current. The trick is that with ESS you have to
remember to do that as ESS does not send reminder notices about expiring
SWMA. (I am still working hard to get that addressed).

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDI 9.5 delivery
Sent by: "WDSCI-L" <wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
I've not paid attention too much to the delivery methods up to now, but I
noticed while downloading a complete set of V7R2 media, that RDI 9.5 seems
to be included in the download. I always assumed you had to go to the
passport advantage site to get the code.
Is this a copy of RDi that can be used or do we still need to go to the
Passport disadvantage (read confusing, hard to navigate, slow, cumbersome,
etc. etc. ) site...
