Our products are also licensed to specific LPARs. And the authorization 
code utilities that come with them will do the lookup automatically, 
whenever those utilities are launched. Seems to me that would be the 
responsible thing to do, if one licenses to specific LPARs.

I haven't a clue why this particular user wants to know, specifically 
for a box or LPAR that none of our products are installed on, either. 
Ours not to reason why . . . .
