Note 8 A number in the Software Subscription column indicates that the product is on the Eligible Products List for Software
Subscription. Clients must purchase Software Subscription when they move to Version 4 to upgrade to new versions
or releases. Software Subscription is available at prepaid options of one or three years.
The price of Software Subscription is the same regardless of what software has been licensed to a system. Most
AS/400 stacked software is covered by Software Subscription. Clients who do not take out Software Subscription when
they install Version 4 or Version 5 must either relicense the software or pay the Subscription After License to join if they
want to upgrade to a new version or release.
For more information about Software Subscription and the list of programs it covers, refer to:

Note 9 A number (representing the Installation Code ID of the product) in the Keyed Stamped Media column indicates that the
product is one of those provided in V4R4 on AS/400 Keyed Stamped Media and shipped with OS/400. This is to provide
on demand delivery of these products and features and allows a 70-day evaluation period for any of the provided
products or features.
To use the software distributed on the keyed stamped media after the 70-day evaluation period, order a Software
License Key. New Software License Keys are also required when the version, release, or modification level of the
software changes. If the software is transferred to a different system, a new software key is required as well. Some
software is keyed based on the software group and a new software key must be obtained when the software group
changes.
When a Software License Key is ordered, retain the
Software License Key Sheet that IBM provides.
If a Keyed Stamped Media product or feature is to be upgraded, the current Software License Key Sheet for the product
must be provided as proof of license.
In the United States, Canada, and Asia Pacific, a client upgrading from V4R4 to V4R5 receives only new Software
License Key sheets for program products that changed in V4R5. Program Products that changed in V4R5 are identified
by a blank in the Skip ship column.
Note 10 Included in SPO when OS/400 is ordered; no 5769-SS1 chargeable feature is required.
Note 11 A checkmark (9) in the WDFM (Withdrawn from marketing) column indicates that the product has been withdrawn from
