5. License Request Process
• Process
1. Client request “Standalone CloverETL” via IBM PMR. Provides info on users and instances.
2. Client is registered with CloverETL licenses & support. Receives notification directly.
3. Client downloads software and licenses from www.cloveretl.com
• CloverETL License Distribution to Client
• Client needs to upgrade to MDM 11.4 or later
• CloverETL no longer embedded and will be licensed as Stand-Alone
• Upgrading customers only! -- License paid by IBM and perpetual. MDM load and reporting only!
• Support paid by IBM until October 1st, 2018 (pre-agreed until 2021). Then client responsibility
6. Partner Business Opportunities

Occurrences in this domain are
beyond the reach of exact
prediction because of the
variety of factors in operation,
not because of any lack of
order in nature.
