Re: WDSCI-L Digest, Vol 10, Issue 54

Thanks for clarifying, Charles. Great article link.
You are right that in the WDSc timeframe IBM could only establish
individual WDSc licenses through Passport. That is one of the points
George was trying to make.

But going forward, since you have a license of RDp established, I
anticipate that entitlements would be provided for any follow on products,
if IBM does it again :-)
Bottom line, don't be afraid of the 3 yr SWMA, you won't lose out.

Yeah, as far as I know the only WDSC users "entitled" to RDi where
those using WDSC or WDSC AE purchased through passport advantage

FYI
WDSc users were entitled to RDi up until 2010
RDi users are still entitled to RDp

I have to beg to differ (and I probably won't be alone in replying to
this).  Every announcement and all literature from when RDi came out
clearly stated there was *NO* entitlement to RDi from WDSc.

WDS, the host compilers, came with a set number of entitlements to the

new

break out of the host-based products (ILE Compilers, "Legacy" compilers,
and ADTS).  But the sore spot was always that people (such as our shop)
who had made the investment in learning WDSc had no entitlement to
workstation tooling.
