Is there a reason for a Business Partner to prefer ESS over PA (other than that's the way they've always done it)? Does PA skip over the BP (in terms of them getting a cut)?
I tried to get our BP to switch us to PA, and what I got was an ESS download of RDP, which I had already gotten from the free trial link.

Hello folks,
We checked with our planner as to the process for ordering via ESS or PA and this is what she told us.
In AAS, the entitled RD Power customer needs to place a no-charge order to see RD Power 8.5 in ESS for download. The no charge order to place is 5733-RDG feature code 5839. The 8.5 activation kit is included in the download. Sometimes, AAS customers are not aware of this extra ordering step before they can download the code in ESS.
In Passport, the entitled RD Power customer will automatically see the 8.5 code to download. They then go to obtain the 8.5 activation kit in the Rational keys center.
Hopefully this clears up any confusion and you can all get the latest and greatest for your productivity and pleasure.
Regards,
Edmund (E.H.) Reinhardt

I downloaded the trial version & installed. It applied my license info automagically. I couldn't find a place to download via ESS or passport advantage either and my SWMA is current. Seems that IBM has severely hosed things with them changing their website around lately.
Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Frank, my BP has been unsuccessful in getting this accomplished for me.
Can you provide any details on what it is that your BP submitted to IBM to get this?
Thanks
Jon
