Re: RDi Licence Terms -- WDSCI-L

Hi Edmund

Yes, the ADTS trade-up is still available in both sales channels -
PassPort Advantage or in e-Config (AAS).

Clients should check with their Business Partners or IBM Sales teams to
place the order. It's not orderable from the RDi Marketplace page.

I do recommend that people ___check with their BP___ about whether the
trade-up from ACTS is still available - there is an email in the WDSC
list from 2013 from Linda Cole of IBM Rational (yes, the relationship is
not the same now), who says it was available and worth maybe 25% off
list - maintenance will still be based on list.

If you look at WRKLICINF and see ADTS there, see how many seats you are
credited with.

Someone please confirm - BP or IBMer or whoever!

Cheers
Vern
