Mark,
We aren't saying that Slip the LIC doesn't work. We are saying that
WHEN you Slip the LIC you also have to slip parts of the OS. I have done
this on V4R4, V4R5, V5R1, V5R2, V5R3, V5R4, V6R1, and V7R1. Perhaps a very
more as well. I just finished doing one this morning on V6R1M0 to V6R1M1.
So, SLIPing the LIC works fine, you just have to do more than just
the 57xx-999.

Hi, Rob and Pete:
IBM has always supported the method called "Slip-loading the LIC" as far
back as I can remember.
Are you saying that this no longer works, and you had to re-load
everything? :-o In what versions and releases of i5/OS (or just "i")
does this no longer seem to work?
Perhaps someone needs to open a PMR or DCR (or whatever) for this... :-/

Hear hear Pete. I tried this with just the LIC. Then I had to download
the OS. You know how long that adds to your downtime to wait for an OS
image copy to download?
