<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />The function to add fix support for
|
||
|
|
products gives you the ability, as a service provider, to support a product
|
||
|
|
that is not installed on your system.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />As<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span> a service provider, you manage many remote
|
||
|
|
systems in your network. Each remote system has different products installed.
|
||
|
|
As the service provider on the source system, you do not want to have to install
|
||
|
|
all the products on your source system to provide support to your remote systems.
|
||
|
|
From a financial perspective this can be expensive if you had to have licenses
|
||
|
|
for each one of those products.</p>
