Re: BPCS License Key

[mkleinman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

   In most cases, SSA will tell you the new 520 is bigger than the 830 and
   they therefore need you to purchase OGS to get the key. We have been a
   hardware reseller for SSA, and they are pretty adamant about that. I may
   also have some other ideas for you. Please call me to discuss.

   Hello all,

   We are running BPCS 6.0.04 on a iSeries 830, software level P30, OS rev
   V5R2.  We are not on OGS.  I am examining my options regarding upgrade
   of my iSeries toward the end of the year and am hoping to get some
   feedback on what I can and cannot do with the box given that I will not
   be able to get a new key from SSA.  

   Our IBM reseller is telling me that I can upgrade to one of the new
   boxes (520) and keep the same serial number while dropping to a P20
   software level.  What they can't tell me with any certainty is whether
   BPCS will run under the same license key.  Anyone have any experience
   with this?  

   Thanks,

   Jim Reinardy,
