Hi all, The IBM Spectrum Protect server package is updated with a new license when the code is "re-based", i..e, that new level is being established as a new base level of the software (not necessarily an x.x.0.0 level). It is the re-based server packages that are put on Passport Advantage. 7.1.3.0 was the most recent re-base of the server.
