Upgrading to new AS400/i-Series

["Eric A. Wolf" <eric_a_wolf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the list,
I need some assistance if anyone has gone through an upgrade to one of the new 
iSeries.  The question deals with any additional fees from MAPICS to move to 
the new box.

I have 3 customers that are interested in upgrading to a new box but have been 
told by the affiliate that it could range in the hundreds of thousands of 
dollars to do so.  Here is what they want to do:

1)    NO NEW MODULES
2)    NO CHANGE IN LICENSING AGREEMENT (IE: KEEP WHATEVER METHOD THAT IS 
CURRENTLY LICENSED)
3)    STAY ON THE SAME TIER BOX (upgrade is primarily for faster box, more 
dasd, more memory)

Has anyone gone through this and have you had to pay for MAPICS to give you the 
license keys?  

MAPICS, if you see this message, please contact me offline so we can discuss 
this...

Thanks to all...
