Thanks for that Ed. It's probably worth pointing out that what a vendor's code DOES in this regard MIGHT vary from what the licence T's & C's actually SAY. It probably pays to check that - and to check which overrides which.
Not suggesting your products have that, ahem, "characteristic". :-) In fact not suggesting ANYONE's do.

Software will obtain the configuration information on its own schedule. Some will get your configuration at startup. Some will listen for ENFs to detect increases and decreases and get your configuration dynamically. Some will check periodically or when someone uses the product interactively. All should see current model=509, permanent model=507, and temporary model=509 but only "enlightened" software will care about or do anything with the second two values. For example, (E)JES compares your license against your permanent model only, so you get to run temporarily "upgraded" mode with no warnings, messages, or other encumbrances and best of all--for free. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 831 Parkview Drive North El Segundo, CA 90245 http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
