ShopZ is available at no additional charge for electronic PTF and new
release/update deliveries. Electronic delivery is the preferred option.
This is true, but we recommend you use RECEIVE ORDER instead, and even
that you automate it via scheduled batch so you have up to date PTFs and
HOLDDATA on hand.
(Earlier this year IBM eliminated the Single Version Charge (SVC)
limitation, in favor of Multi-Version Measurement (MVM). In short, that
means you should electronically order new versions and releases. You
shouldn't even have to think about it.)

You can certainly order products for Internet delivery via Shopz, and
have been able to for some time. However, whenever there is a new
product number, which happens on a version boundary, I believe you will
need to get a new license even when the costs are identical. This, too,
has been true for some time. In the USA, at least, new version orders
are intercepted by TechLine for licensing.
