The EMC licensing website is one of the most confusing things any of us 
here have seen. I have a call into Licensing, but while I wait, maybe 
somebody can point me at what should be an easy thing.

I upgraded 3 NW servers (Workgroup Edition) from 7.6.2 to 8.0.1.5 over the 
weekend. So now I need to enter the update enabler for it. And we can't 
figure out from the Licensing website how you do that. I have the hostids 
I need; I even (for a change) have the LAC associated with these 3 
servers. But we (3 of us here) see anything on the website that indicates 
"HERE is where you get an update enabler to NW 8". Going to the "Download 
Enabler Code" only gives me the enabler codes I already have, for this 
hostid, no option (or even any indication) as to where to go instead..

So where do I go, and what do I put in, to get this NW 8 enabler code, for 
each of my 3 hosts?

An extremely user-unfriendly website.  I hate doing anything with 
licensing, even buying new ones.

God help me in trying to rehost my main server, and it's 61 activations, 
between clients, storage nodes, backup tiers, etc.
