I don't think this is complicated, but perhaps I'm missing your question. According to what I'm reading, if you want to access Rational Developer for System z Unit Test feature, these two things (among others) must be true: 1. You must have a license for Rational Developer for System z (and the Unit Test feature). If it's technically possible to access the Unit Test feature without a license, that's immaterial: you must have a license. Time of day, minute in the hour, and whether you prefer baseball or cricket do not matter: you must have a license. 2. When you access the Unit Test feature, you may only do so for specific permitted purposes. Running your company's weekly payroll is not one of those permitted purposes. Code changes and unit test for that payroll application probably are permitted. Just read the announcement letter and ask your IBM representative (in writing) if you still have questions. (But is this hard? I don't think so.) - - - - - Timothy Sipples Resident Architect (Based in Singapore) STG Value Creation and Complex Deals Team IBM Growth Markets E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
