...but not OEM .

We use the eOpen site (for those that don't know this is a site where you can keep track of multiple user licenses, things like that). Now they have a list of all your agreements, and they also used to have a thing called "Product Summary". This'd basically show you your total licenses for things like OfficeXP, Windows CALs, Exchange CALs etc. This appears to have been replaced with a "License Statement" which is complete cack.

I'll explain; we basically use Office XP, although we have a lot of Office 2003 licenses and Office 2007 licenses to cover XP installations (basically you get downgrade rights with Open Licenses). Now you CAN buy subscription licenses for Office, but we've always bought perpetual licenses. That hasn't been a problem; the product summary's always shown X licenses for XP, Y for 2003 and Z for 2007. So long as I had enough to cover all the XP installs, no problem. Now it's doing some kind of half-arsed "calculation" and what I THINK it's doing is deciding that my (full) 2003 licenses are actually upgrades to the (full) XP licenses and so on, including my (full) 2007 licenses. What that means is that instead of, say 150 XP licenses, they're saying we actually have 11! If you drill into each agreement under each authorisation number, the licenses are still there, but they're not being counted separately.

I've fired off a whinge to the eOpen people, but has anyone else seen this?
