Yes. The license for CPExpert includes periodic maintenance and enhancement, both to the software and the documentation. Updates to CPExpert are issued twice each year. CPExpert has been updated to support each new version of IBM MVS, OS/390, or z/OS within 30 days of the GA date of the new IBM software. Please see the “CPExpert Updates” for an appreciation of the updates provided. The major reasons we are able to react so swiftly to new IBM releases are (1) we are a member of IBM’s Partner’s in Development program, (2) IBM provides us with data to analyze prior to GA of new IBM software, and (3) “leading edge” users of CPExpert often provide us with data to analyze as new releases of IBM software are available. The combination of these factors has allowed us to remain current with all new IBM software releases.
