If I understand things correctly
BP's can be certified for hardware or software or both.
BP's with hardware certification get incentives for orders through ESS
BP's with software certification get incentives for orders through PA
Your BP may not have software certification or may simply be more used to
ESS.
As you are aware PA is better optimized for keeping track of your SWMA
renewals at this time.

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
