Pan- Assuming that the 7.22 database hasn't got a current support contract, your friend may want to consider buying a new IDS Workgroup license outright, rather than getting support added to his old license.

Good point. In fact, I would doubt support is even being offered for 7.22 any longer. Paul Nye
