Sorry about the confusion...I think your sales rep might have mis-read the
table that we have provided.

As others have pointed out the 928 is in HP's Option 310 tier, while all of
the 929KS models are in HP's Option 330 tier. Also, the 979KS servers were
reclassified earlier this year as Option 330 machines, down from the
previous 340 level.

These are the classifications that Cognos use for our FOS-based licensing
model.

Best regards,
Conrad
