943.0. "Status of AssetWORKS V3.0" by ZEKE::BURTON (Jim Burton, DTN 381-6470) Fri Jan 31 1997 08:32

POLYCENTER AssetWORKS V3.0 has been announced as being generally available
by Computer Associates.  However, CA had some trouble with their CDROM kits, 
so it really is not available at this time from either CA or Digital.  We are
in the process of pulling new part numbers so Digital can offer AssetWORKS
V3.0 on a worldwide basis as well.  We expect to have the part numbers up
on the pricefile at about the same time as CA fixes the kits and makes them
available.  I will be receiving an update from CA on Wednesday February 5,
1997 and will let you know the status at that time.

POLYCENTER AssetWORKS V3.0 will be sold under Computer Associates Software
Licensing Terms & Conditions.  I will post a copy of these T&C's along with a
copy of the product information that is included in the kit.  The server
CDROM/license package will contain a software license, the product
documentation, a cover letter, a CDROM, and a package "bill of materials"
(BOM). The client packages will simply be a paper license.  I will be putting
up a doc-only part number so Digital's customers can order additional doc sets.

Customers who are on Digital Service for AssetWORKS will be receiving an update
package under the terms of their contract.  Those who are running V2.0 and who
are not on service but want the new release can order an update kit through
Digital. Be warned that this is the last update opportunity that Digital and CA
will be offering for this product and the offer may go away soon. In the
future, new releases can only be obtained through a Digital service contract or
be re-purchasing the new release of the whole product. 

To order AssetWORKS though Digital, the order will have to be placed through
the Digital order system and then the Digital representative will have to fill
out a paper CA order.  This will be much easier than it appears since I will
be posting detailed instruction telling you what goes on each line.  Once you
know the end-user information, the form should take no longer than 10 minutes
to fill out.  The form is then FAXed to a Digital person in each of the areas
who will check it for completeness and FAX it to CA.  This order form will
actually initiate the shipment of product directly from CA to the end user (or
whoever you designate on the form).  Obviously, the internals of the process
are more complex than this, but overall this should not be a long, cumbersome
process for Digital people in the field.  I'll let you know more about this as
we get closer to ship time.
