To all: source code has not been "taken away". All customers that have a license for source code can still access source code. However, the existing download method provided a "back door" method for customers to download source without licensing it. The back door has been closed, but the door remains wide open for authorized customers. I believe the reason for this is clear - source code is Infor property. It is not free. For any customer that has gotten used to back door source, we are currently revising source code access policies. For the moment, we are not licensing source to customers not already licensed to it. If this represents a hardship, please monitor the XA Community on Infor 365. We are working to provide licensed access for customers who may get in a bind due to this situation.

I wanted to get the latest source code for the inventory tags print file and found that Infor took the source code download off of their site. This is bad news for any of us that have modified code and are trying to put PTFs on our systems. I don't remember receiving any notification that they were doing this. If any of you are bothered by this, give Infor a holler so that they might put it back up.
