- Subject: RE: ESL SUPPORT FOR DECWINDOWS MOTIF CLARIFICATION
- Lines: 64
-
- Linda,
-
- Just to reconfirm what you have said and a question ...
-
- >The way SSS (Software Support Service) is designed for VMS (UPI 001), support
- >for DECwindows MOTIF is included as it is one of the kernel software products
- >(kernel products include VMS, DECnet, DECwindows Motif, VAXcluster and
- >Workstation). Therefore, the new ESL will include support for DECwindows
- >Motif - this support will include telephone support and RTNV through the
- >designated CSC contacts.
-
- So, this means we will have telephone and RTNV for all the systems we have under
- the new ESL program, correct? I ask because it contradict what Ellen has said
- earlier (at least from my interpretation.)
-
- >Updates are always purchased separately - if Motif is not on the CONDIST, then
- >you will have to purchase MDDS.
-
- I think this is well-understood and not a question. The question is the RTNV.
- :-)
-
- >However, the way DECwindows Motif is supported does not effect how it is
- >licensed.
-
- Now for Stephen Tihor's question ...
-
- >Thats Odd I though we get RTNV though the CSLG.
-
- Isn't that confusing? Anyway, from what I interpret from the message that Linda
- sent, sounds like you get RTVN if you get the VMS SSS. Don't we all wish that
- DEC can make it a little easier and less confusing?
-
- >I observe that I did not recieve a MOTIF pak int he CSLG. if I get RTNV under
- >the ESL I should then get a MOTIF PAK thorugh the ESL or motif will not
- >require new PAKs and will run forever on the origial grandfathered pak even
- >new versions?
-
- I think the Motif license PAK we get should run forever since there is no
- version limit or termination date.
-
- > However, the way DECwindows Motif is supported does not effect how it
- is
- > licensed.
- >
- >Bingo. This is where I have the problem support is via ESL, license upgrade
- >via CSLG. So I can not install a version of MOTIF that will not accept the
- >grandfathered PAK until I get a new PAK and -- by observation -- I am not getny
- >new PAKs.
-
- I hope what I said above is correct (that is, the license PAK for Motif will run
- with any version of Motif) and that should answer the question above.
