So how do I get the final OS X release version?

I have been seeing people telling of their experiences installing and using the 8.5 final release, and I’d love to join them but I can’t figure out where to get it from - can anyone help?

Subject: Part number

Ask your IT staff to grab part number C1SP6EN from Passport Advantage.

Subject: you get it from partnerworld or passport advantage on the IBM site

you need to be a partner with a valid partner username and password or a customer with active maintenance. I assume a trial version will come out but that usually takes a bit of time.

Subject: So I should be able to get my IT folks to get it for me then?

Subject: if your company is on active maintenance, then yes
