Re: Updating UAK on Power 8

I've now had my email asking for help forwarded to 10 different
groups/people just looking to may HWMA.

I heard IBM is laying off people. But I keep seeing their ads on youtube
that you should partner with IBM for infrastructure, security, etc. I
can't even pay a bill that's overdue! How are they going to help a snack
manufacturer worldwide keep up with demand, or block cyber attacks to
transportation companies?

I did take the time (taking advice from one of the emails) to sign up for
digital invoices online. But I bet $100 that my SWMA and HWMA invoices in
the future will not show up there.

I apologize to anyone offended by this, but it's ridiculous. The only
thing worse is trying to deal with Intuit for Quickbooks Online.. which I
wish I would have never moved to.

I have the EXACT same thing happen. It's SO frustrating. Last year I even
was told "don't worry, you'll get your invoice every year delivered
electronically".

Nope.

Brad,

Thanks for that heads up. My SWMA expires soon and, guess what, MY
contact that worked last year was returned as "undeliverable". I get a
SWMA headache every year...IBM! just a send me a invoice for heavens
sake and I'll pay it. But FIRST you have to do the legwork to even get
an invoice, and then, wait for it.... pay by mail....

Sigh...

Well, it turns out my HWMA does expire today which is why I can't get a

new

key.

Of course, like every other year, I was never notified or sent an

invoice.

And of course, trying to contact someone to give them money is virtually
impossible as any contact I had from the past year no longer works

there.
