[comp.unix.aix] xl Fortran free upgrade - last chance

shair@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (Bob Shair) (03/28/91)

Reminder - users updating from XL Fortran V1 to Version 2 will have
        license charges waived if they order before March 29 and
        request March 29 shipment.  That's Friday, folks!
        After that, the upgrade charges will be:
        $205, $405, $810 for Desktop, Deskside, and Rackmount.
 
Clarification - users who have received their software via the
        Higher Education Software Consortium are eligible for
        this free upgrade. (Ruling from IBM Business Operations
        today.)

How do we place the order? I asked our SE and he knows nothing about.

Order product 5765-018, specifying an "upgrade" feature and
including the serial number of the licensed copy of xlf V1 
(5601-248) to be replaced.  Feature numbers will depend on 
which model of the 6000 the software is installed on, and on
what distribution medium is used.  

Your SE (or you, if you have access through IBMLink) can use
CFRS6000 on HONE to generate the correct features.  

For upgrading the 320 in my office, this is what I submitted:

   Please order the following to replace 5601-248 s/n E3990.
   Request shipment 3/29/91.

   5765-018 xlf V2
       9001 Asset Registration
       5350 Product Feature Number
       0072 One-time-Charge UPGRADE - model grp E5 (desktop)
       3406 Quarter-inch cartridge tape
Alas, I don't myself understand all those features, and can only
hope that this is correct.
