Pennsylvania allowed for this tax exemption in the past. They have recently changed the law. We were saving 6% on IBM and BMC software. This was significant savings for a 5000 MIP shop. We didn't have any issues downloading our software, including z/OS electronically. Back when I discovered this about 3-4 years ago, the following states were eligible:
Arkansas, california, florida, georgia, iowa, kentucky, maryland, massachusetts, missouri, new jersey, north carolina, oklahoma, pennsylvania, Rhode island, south carolina, vermont, virginia, and wyoming -----Original Message----- In the state of CT, we're eligible for tax savings if our software is downloaded electronically rather than obtained via physical media. Has anyone downloaded their complete z/OS ServerPac either via ShopZ or FTP? Care to share your experience and/or opinions? We're beginning our plans for z/OS 1.8, and the usual components. There are concerns that the connect time, and the DASD requirements will be prohibitive. Thanks in advance...
