Charles, et al:
  Been dealing with this type of issue on the various TDP software packages for 
years.  Best I can tell, the licensing people had their own sense of 
version/release/level/sub-level, and so we would often have to install older 
versions of the TDP software then upgrade to the version we wanted OR extract 
the license file from the old installer and apply it post-new install.  

  Now that IBM has discarded the version/release/level/sub-level model, I only 
expect this incongruency to only get worse.  Until, of course, it gets better 
;-)
