Re: can IBM i license be sold with hardware?

[Doug Palme <DPalme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Prior to V5R2 all software was resellable, however once someone upgraded 
past that point, IBM's license agreement specifically prohibited the 
selling of licensed programs (other than the OS).

can an IBM i system ( JS12 blade ) be sold with its IBM licensed
software?  ( OS, LIC, licensed programs ).  The answer I recall from
discussions in the past is yes, but you need some paperwork that came
with the as400. I don't recall any special papers with the JS12 blade.
When loading the system, I recall the license key system number was
the important number to have when getting keys from the license key
center.

thanks,
