Warning!!! 5.5 ships on the 4.0F Associated products CD....

DO NOT TRY TO UPGRADE !!!!

One cannot upgrade without getting the enabler keys BEFORE you upgrade.
(Which is probably going to cost you money!) It doesn't matter
if you have RTNV from Legato or not.

This is not documented anywhere that I have found.... until you boot up the
server and it replies:

> registration info event: Server is disabled update enabler required

And you are screwed - your server IS disabled. Talk about PC mentality.
This kind of crap is enough to make you switch to Veritas.

And... sigh... the web page in the "Read this first" doc does not exist.

Compaq support is referring all questions about 5.5 to legato.

compaqanswers_at_legao.com should work as should the legato phone number
