The media spin number can be found on the CD/DVD itself. The media spin number can be used to identify whether you have the latest LANSA software. If your media spin numbers don't match what is listed on this table, you should order the latest LANSA software from your product vendor.

The spin numbers for the current media are as follows:

* There will be no CD or DVD delivery of LANSA Client V14 SP1. LANSA Client can be requested from your product vendor.

Notes regarding media spins:

• Periodically, LANSA will produce a new spin of the LANSA media. A new spin will include the latest generally available EPCs, making it easier for customers to get to the latest EPC level automatically when they install or upgrade LANSA.
• SPIN0340 delivers LANSA and LANSA Linux at V15 level. SPIN0340 also provides an automatic install of the latest V15 LANSA Integrator (EPC150006) and Visual LANSA Framework (EPC150005).
• SPIN0338 delivers LANSA and LANSA Linux at V14 SP2 EPC142050 level (EPC142010, EPC142030, EPC142040 and EPC142050 automatically applied). SPIN0338 also provides an automatic install of the latest V14 SP2 EPCs for LANSA Integrator (EPC142006) and Visual LANSA Framework (EPC142011).
• SPIN0330 delivers LANSA V13 SP2 and LANSA Linux V13 SP2 at EPC132900 level. SPIN0330 also provides an automatic install of EPC132800 for LANSA Integrator and EPC132100 for Visual LANSA Framework.
  Note: Installing or upgrading V13 SP2 from SPIN0330 requires IBM i 6.1 or later.
• If you have already installed LANSA from an earlier spin (any version of LANSA), you should download and apply later EPCs for that version as they become generally available, rather than requesting the latest spin.
