Re: RDP 8.0.3

Well, I certainly don't *know* for a fact nor where to find the answer, but
that wouldn't make any sense (i.e., that RDp 8.0.3 is a new product) even
using Rational's convoluted logic. Even MS changes the names and/or version
numbers.

It's 10/14, do you know where your 8.0.3 is?

I picked up an IBM Installation Manager update, but not seeing any RDp
updates. Am really looking forward to this one. I do understand that
sometimes things get delayed, and also that 10/14 has not passed us by

yet. But I've been looking forward to this like X-mas.

However, I can't say I fully understand the Planned Availability Date
wording.
"Passport Advantage(r) October 14, 2011: Electronic and physical
availability"
"Advanced Adminstration System (AAS) October 21, 2011"

Which of those does IBM Installation Manager fall under? I know that's
electronic, however I wasn't sure if it was Passport Advantage or not.

Kurt, I may be wrong but my interpretation is that 8.0.3 is a whole new
product with its attendant Licence charges - not a "free" update to 8.0.0.3.

If I am correct in this assumption, you'll need to (pay), download and
install 8.0.3 from scratch rather than update 8.0.0.3 through Installation
Manager.
