Re: Question about upgrading RDP

["Bob Cagle" <bcagle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I installed 8.5 it did not recognize my license.  I'm fairly sure
that I only selected the IBM i features, but that was more than 60 days
ago.  :)

What is the procedure to get our license back when it finally times out?
:(

Thanks
