Re: Customer number change in IBM records for system for sw key renewal?

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I get an email back from IBM support still claiming I need to transfer
the system to my customer number again, insisting that my system is not
under my customer number.

so I sent them printouts of the original 2016 email with the original SW
keys and a web page of ESS that both show customer number and serial/system
ID and told them to get their SH*T together (in so many words)

Thinks it will take?  I don't.

But again, at least they sent an email.

I love this IBM i system to death, but dealing with IBM is an absolute
nightmare.
