DL100 G2 upgrade to DPM 2007

[Tim Stoute]

Less than a year ago I purchased a Proliant DL100 G2 Data Protection Storage Server, and it shipped with Microsoft Data Protection Manager 2006. Now Microsoft has released DPM 2007. Can anyone tell me if we will be entitled to an upgrade of this software? If so, how would I go about obtaining this upgrade? I also purchased 5 agent licenses, what would happen with these? Thanks,
Tim

I have the same question regarding the upgrade process. Will this come in the form of a newer recovery disk that contains the DPM 2007, and will there be a charge associated with this process?

I have called HP end user support on this, and sadly I have hit a dead end. Support says that there is no information available on when or if the DPM 2007 product will be available. Very frustrating. It clearly says in the Product Quick Specs: "HP Data Protection Storage Server includes 1 full year of software support for Microsoft Data Protection Manager." http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12335_na/12335_na.pdf
