Re: RDi license-Desktop & laptop

Hmm. Suggests you may have the Automatic Updates preference set. However, check out this document:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27038481

It states the last updates to RDi 9.0 was to 9.0.1 - in December 2013.

(RDi 9.0 was superceded by 9.1, which has in turn been superceded by 9.5.) Hope this helps and not confuses.

Brian.

Thank you for the info.  Apparently I can, and do, get updates. About 
says I am on 9.0, most recent updates were Oct 27, 2016. Must be its 
done automatically or accidentally.
