I sincerely wish IBM would fix this on the back end. Looks like every
customer is having to jump through the same pro forma hoops. Licensing for
SMP/E should be automatic for any shop already licensed for z/OS.

It's just a "formality". I had to do it for SMP/E 3.5, and for every
other no-charge product for which we wanted the SMP-installable
packaging (Java, Unix Ported Tools, etc.). As long as you're licensed
for z/OS, it's NBD.
