RE: P7 8205 to P9 S914 or P9 S924 - P20 to P10 license transfer issue

Your BP was correct, no OS entitlement transfers from 8205-E6C to S914.

Here’s a link which contains the IBM I Processor and User Transfer Guide. This documents which donor and receiving systems are allowed.

No, ypu can transfer your licenses to an equal or lower SW Group. You can
even preserve the P20 SW group for future upgrades.

Initially I was looking at a P9 S914 to migrate to.
My BP was suggesting a P9 S924.

My current software tier is a P20, unlimited users.
The S914 is a P10, possibly user based.
BP is claiming the license transfers from a P7 8205-E6C P20 to a P9 S914
P10 could not be done.
This was his reasoning for the S924 instead, which is a P20.
Is this correct?
