Question Lost original AIX DVD

At company I joined it seems I cannot trace install DVD (5765-G99 - AIX Enterprise 7.1) but according invoice I found we are entitled for it.
It seems that support for account expired and I cannot download any software/updates except HMC ones Smilie

  • Anybody knows which exact version (TL, service pack) is wrapped under 5765-G99?
  • Is AIX wrapped as 5765-G99 snapshot of available AIX version depending on the time of purchase? (E.g. 5765-G99 delivered in oct 2010 would contain Aix 7.1 TL0 and 5765-G99 delivered in dec 2012 would contain Aix 7.1 TL2)
  • Is it OK if I borrow 5765-G99 DVD from client (if they have it) to create ISO?
  • Is it to ask for "media refresh" only option or since 5765-G99 was withdrawn from support on Sept 30, 2016 I can only buy item 5765-CD3 as an software upgrade (not "media refresh")?
  • According to article AIX 7.2 and October Power software announcements | The secret product manager. IBM changed products since October 2015. Are we entitled to 5765-CD3 since company's account support expired in Feb 2016?

Feedback appreciated!
Thanks.
