268.2How can Customers get 4.3?CSC32::K_MEADOWSSat Feb 22 1997 13:0410
    I just visited
    www.systems.digital.com/DIcatalog/html
         /toc-System-and-Network-Management.html 
    
    Trying to find out how to order 4.3 but all I see is 4.2.  Can someone
    please update this to include 4.3?
    
    What is the order number for 4.3?
    
    thx
268.3Actually, even though it is out of date, the literature section isn't (weird, eh?)DECWET::LENOXWhy is DECdirect so out of date?Sun Feb 23 1997 16:5912
If you click on NetWorker Save and Restore (#7 under storage management),
go down the page and click on POLYCENTER NetWorker Save and Restore for
Windows NT Alpha, V4.2A (under literature), then you will see the
current SPD (with order numbers and stuff).

I suggest that when looking for the current SPD, use the search
available on Digital's web pages (see www.digital.com), go to the
Site Search and Browse Utility section, click on Software Product
Descriptions and enter the word NetWorker in the search field, it
will bring up all the latest SPDs which mention NetWorker, much
easier than plowing through DECdirect.
268.4Is QA-560AA-H8 an alternative?VFOVAX::ZITELMANMon Mar 03 1997 06:5318
    
    Another part number appears to be Networker V4.3 for Alpha/NT 4.0
    which saves the customer $1200.00 at list price.
    
    The part number is QA-560AA-H8, with a price of $300 (as opposed
    to $1500 for QA-XYXAE-H8).
    
    According to SSB, this is Networker V4.3 for Alpha NT CD and Doc.
    
    Please note that VTX/PRICE shows it as V4.2x, but SSB said this was
    not correct.  It is indeed V4.3.
    
    If the customer only wants the Alpha/NT client software for NT4.0,
    is this indeed a less expensive way to order?
    
    Thanks,

268.5DECWET::KOWALSKITime's not for savingMon Mar 03 1997 07:523
No, you need a license.  The media and documentation
will only provide an evaluation system that works
for 30 days.

    Let me ask the question a different way:
    
    If the customer already has a license, is it indeed less expensive to
    use the QA-560AA-H8 instead of the QA-XYXAE-H8?
        
    Thanks,

    If the customer already has a NetWorker Server license and are
    upgrading from V4.2A to V4.3, you will need to get them a new license. 
    Legato changed this in V4.3 and since we are "bug-for-bug" compatible
    you will need to get the customer a new license (enabler).  Work with
    Jill Browne (NetWorker on NT product manager).  Her e-mail is
    [email protected].

hmm, .7 is confusing for me to read.

The old licenses work with the V4.3 code.  We don't sell the
old licenses anymore but they work.  I don't see why anyone
should have to trade in their old licenses unless they didn't
have TurboPak before and want it now - the time one can order
the old TurboPak license is/was limited.
