Re: Usage limit for Product 5769SS1 feature 5103 has been exceeded

Joe,

Feature 5103 is Media and Storage Extensions.   A number of tape management
software packages use it (BRMS) and also used for developing Heirarchical
Storage Management (HSM) applications.  It's relatively cheap.....$995.00

The feature has been a priced feature for a while (V3R7 I think) but what you
are seeing is one of the wonderful features of V4R4...

Subject:  Usage limit for Product 5769SS1 feature 5103 has been exceeded



I cannot find out exactly what this is. Is this the English language
version of the OS? We recently installed V4R4 and just started
getting the message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
Usage limit of 0 exceeded. Grace period will expire in 31 days on
12/31/99.

User has been added but the usage limit for the product 5769SS1,
license term V4R4M0, feature 5103 has been exceeded. Users
have until specified date (31 days) to use this product. When this
date is reached, the grace period will expire and all users exceeding
the usage limit will be released.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

We called the VAR and they said to call IBM. We call IBM and they
won't help us because we bought from a VAR. Is this something the
VAR screwed up on? Can this be a Y2K problem since the expiration
date just happens to be 12/31/99?

I've searched the online books but could find anything specific. Only
that feature codes for the OS seem to be language definitions.
