How to obtain RDi?

This may sound stupid, but here goes anyway:

We've heard so much about RDi and we would like to install it and try it (we are aware of the free trial).

The issue is that, when it was first introduced, there was a lot of discussion about getting x number of licenses based on processor level (we are P20). Now, I can't find any information on it at all. Was that upgrade path withdrawn?

We have a 520 with four LPARs, one of which is on v6.1 but no RDi software came with the upgrade package.

How do i find out the cost and what is involved to get RDi? Is it a new LPP? Are there new entitlements and license keys? Is it some sort of conversion of our current compiler licenses?

Someone with this knowledge should publish a document here. That would really help those of us trying to "get there from here".

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Robert

The RDi web page is here: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/developer/rdi/

I pretty much would not bother trying to order RDi on your own. Should you be able to accomplish that trick, you're guaranteed to pay the highest price possible. Call your Business Partner and ask for the best deal you can get.
