Impact |
This change will impact customers who have the divested Acoustic products installed in their enterprise and have its effective license positions. Customers will notice that the Publisher name for the products will change from IBM to Acoustic. It is expected that the legacy IBM SKUs under which Acoustic products were previously marketed will remain as is unless Acoustic announce the SKUs to be updated or release a new set of SKUs under their brand. It is also expected that Bundles which contain an IBM primary product divested to Acoustic will remain as is, however those bundles which have ‘IBM’ in the name will be updated to ‘Acoustic’. The impact to the product usage rights in the PURL is as follows:

Next Steps: |
Customers with above listed Tealeaf products need to make sure they update their ARL and SKU/PURL/Bundles cab files to the latest build. We have tested the implications of this change and the results were as expected. There are no undesired recommendations seen after ARL, SKU and PURL builds are updated. |
