Tripped over another no charge product needed to order a z/OS ServerPac.

Bob Richards, on staff, stumbled over this one which everyone should check if
you have the no charge license.

[5655-S28] z/OS Management Facility 1.11.00 English (US)

The above needs to be licensed. It is a $0 charge, but needs to be licensed.
Verify with IBM the $0 though.

Good luck jim

Jim:

You need to order both this product (which is the OTC base) and the S&amp;S
assodicated product 5655-S29, both of which have a charge per MSU of $0.

Jim makes a good point, one which I did not know. However, here's what
happened to me.

I ordered 5655-S28 through ShopzSeries on Oct 6, and requested a license on
our CPU by serial number. The order was sent to the "order center", and was
electronically delivered a few days later.

After reading Jim Elliott's post, I checked "My licensed software". I now
have a NON-system-specific license for 5655-S28 AND 5655-S29.

I believe what happened is that when the order made its trip through the
"order center", the representative, without ever needing to contact me, took
care of what I needed.

Do you mean you cannot order a ServerPac without ordering z/OSMF?
